¹⁰ Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

²² Please receive instruction from his mouth, And lay up his words in your heart.

¹ He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

² So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.

³ He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart, That I might not sin against you.

¹⁰ Receive my instruction rather than silver; Knowledge rather than choice gold.

²⁰ Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter end.

⁸ But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don't be you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.

¹⁵ That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹³ For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

¹ Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.
