⁹ And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book. And he said to me: Put it in your mouth; and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.

¹ And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.

² And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.

³ And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

⁸ But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.

¹⁶ But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.

¹² I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.

¹⁴ And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.
