6. And thou, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, for they are rebels; though thou find thyself among thorns and thy dwelling be with briers, do not be afraid of their words, nor fear before them, for they are a rebellious house.
7. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, but they will not hear nor forbear, for they are rebels.
8. But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Do not be rebellious like the rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
9. And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent unto me; and in it was the roll of a book,
10. and he spread it before me; and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations and mourning and woes.
