And I looked,[a] and look! There was a hand stretched out to me, and look! In it was a scroll with writing.[b] 10 And he rolled it out[c] before me,[d] and it was written on the front and back, and there were written on it laments and mourning and wailing.[e]

And he said to me, “Son of man,[f] what you find, eat! Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” And I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat, and he said to me, “Son of man,[g] you must give your stomach this to eat, and you must fill your belly with this scroll that I am giving to you.” And I ate, and it became like sweet honey[h] in my mouth.
