26:002:003 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children
           of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against
           me:  they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even
           unto this very day.

26:002:004 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted.  I do send
           thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the
           Lord god.

26:002:005 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will
           forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know
           that there hath been a prophet among them.

26:002:006 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid
           of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and
           thou dost dwell among scorpions:  be not afraid of their words,
           nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious
           house.

26:002:007 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will
           hear, or whether they will forbear:  for they are most
           rebellious.

26:002:008 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou
           rebellious like that rebellious house:  open thy mouth, and eat
           that I give thee.

26:002:009 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo,
           a roll of a book was therein;

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.
