And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”

So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat.

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

And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
