26:002:010 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
26:003:001 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
26:003:002 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
26:003:003 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
26:003:004 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house
of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
26:003:005 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of
an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
26:003:006 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard
language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I
sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
26:003:007 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they
will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are
impudent and hardhearted.
26:003:008 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
26:003:009 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear
them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a
rebellious house.
