- And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house.
- You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
- But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."
- Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,
- which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.

- "And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
- "But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
- "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."
- Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.
- When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
