5. As for them, whether they listen or not-for they are a rebellious house-they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6. 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.
7. But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
8. "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."
9. Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.
10. When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
