1. Moreover He said unto me, Ben Adam, eat that thou findest; eat this megillah, and go speak unto Bais Yisroel.
2. So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that megillah.
3. And He said unto me, Ben Adam, cause thy beten to eat, and fill thy bowels with this megillah that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as devash for sweetness.
4. And He said unto me, Ben Adam, go, get thee unto the Bais Yisroel, and speak My words unto them.
5. For thou art not sent to an Am Imkei Safah (a people of indecipherable language) and of obscure lashon, but to Bais Yisroel;
6. Not to amim rabbim of indecipherable language and obscure lashon whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have paid heed unto thee.
7. But Bais Yisroel will not pay heed unto thee; for they will not pay heed unto Me; for kol Bais Yisroel are khizkei metzach (hard-set of brow) and keshei-lev (hard-hearted).
8. Hinei, I have made thy face chazakim against their faces, and thy metzach chazak (forehead strong) against their metzach.
