⁹ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, ^(A)“Take and ^(B)eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”

3 And he said to me, ^(A)“Son of man, eat whatever you find here. ^(B)Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” ² So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat. ³ And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” ^(C)Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth ^(D)as sweet as honey.

⁸ “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. ^(A)Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and ^(B)eat what I give you.”

^14 (A)The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the ^(B)hand of the Lord being strong upon me.

^6 (A)On account of these the wrath of God is coming.^[a]
