Contextual Overview

1 Moreouer he saide vnto me, Sonne of man, eate that thou findest: eate this roule, and goe, and speake vnto the house of Israel. 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gaue mee this roule to eate. 3 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, cause thy belly to eate, and fill thy bowels with this roule that I giue thee. Then did I eate it, and it was in my mouth as sweete as honie. 4 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, goe, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my wordes. 5 For thou art not sent to a people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6 Not to many people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an harde language, whose wordes thou canst not vnderstand: yet if I should sende thee to them, they would obey thee. 7 But the house of Israel will not obey thee: for they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiffe hearted. 8 Beholde, I haue made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead harde against their foreheads. 9 I haue made thy forehead as the adamant, and harder then the flint: feare them not therefore, neither be afraid at their lookes: for they are a rebellious house. 10 He said moreouer vnto me, Sonne of man, receiue in thine heart al my words that I speake vnto thee, and heare them with thine eares,
