When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke:
“Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. Son of man, hear what I tell you. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you. When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was in it. He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel. Then I ate it and the Spirit lifted me up. I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures and the noise of the wheels even the noise of a great rushing. And Yahweh’s hand was heavy on me like a heavy stone. Then I came to them that lived by the river Chebar and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
