8 But you, Ben-adam, hear what I say to you; Be not
rebellious like that rebellious bayit: open your mouth,
and eat what I give you.
9 And when I looked, see, a hand was sent to me; and, a
scroll of a book was in it;
10 And He spread it before me; and there was writing
inside and on the outside: and there was written in it
lamentations, and mournings, and woes.
3
Moreover He said to me, Ben-adam, eat what you
find; eat this scroll, and go speak to Beit Yisrael. 2337
2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that
scroll.
3 And He said to me, Ben-adam, feed your stomach, and
fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you. Then did
I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 And He said to me, Ben-adam, go to Beit Yisrael, and
speak with My words to them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a foreign speech and
of a difficult language, but to Beit Yisrael;
6 Not to many people of a foreign speech and of a difficult
language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely,
had I sent you to them; they would have listened to you.
7 But Beit Yisrael 2338 will not listen to you; for they will
not listen to Me: for kol Beit Yisrael are hard headed and
hard hearted.
8 See, I have made your face strong against their faces,
and your forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As adamant stone, harder than flint, have I made your
forehead: fear them not, neither be discouraged at their
stares, for they are a rebellious bayit.
10 Moreover He said to me, Ben-adam, all My words that
I shall speak to you receive in your lev, and listen to them
with your ears.
11 And go, to them of the exile, to the children of your
people, and speak to them, and tell them, This says the
Master vuvh; whether they will hear, or whether they will
refuse.
12 Then the Ruach took me up, and I heard behind me a
voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the tifereth of
vuvh from His place.
13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living
creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the
wheels beside them, and a noise of a great rushing.
14 So the Ruach lifted me up, and took me away, and I
went in bitterness, in the heat of my ruach; but the hand
of vuvh was strong upon me.
15 Then I came to them of the exile at Tel-Aviv, that
dwelt by the river of Chevar, and I sat where they sat, and
remained there stunned among them seven days.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the
word of vuvh came to me, saying,
17 Ben-adam, I have made you a watchman to Beit
Yisrael: therefore listen to the words from My mouth, and
give them warning from Me.
18 When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and
you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked of
his wicked derech, to save his chayim; the same wicked
man shall die in his iniquity; but his dahm will I require
at your hand.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his
wickedness, nor from his wicked derech, he shall die in
his iniquity; but you have delivered your being.

20 Again, When a tzadik man turns from his tzedakah,
and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before
him, he shall die: because you have not given him
warning, he shall die in his sin, and his tzedakah which
he has done shall not be remembered; but his dahm will I
require at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the tzadik man, that the
tzadik sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live,
because he is warned; also you have delivered your
being.
22 And the hand of vuvh was there upon me; and He said
to me, Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you
there.
23 Then I arose, and went out into the plain: and, see, the
tifereth of vuvh stood there, 2339 the same tifereth that I
saw by the river of Chevar: and I fell on my face.
24 Then the Ruach entered into me, 2340 and set me upon
my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut
yourself inside your bayit.
25 But you, O Ben-adam, see, they shall put chains upon
you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go
out among them:
26 And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your
mouth, so that you shall be dumb, and shall not be a
reprover to them: for they are a rebellious bayit.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth,
and you shall say to them, This says the Master vuvh; He
that hears, let him hear; and he that refuses, let him
refuse: for they are a rebellious bayit.

You also, Ben-adam, take a clay tablet, and lay it
before you, and you shall trace upon it the city of
Yahrushalayim:
2 And lay siege against it, and build a siege wall against
it, and heap up a mound against it; set the camp against
it, and set battering rams against it all around. 2341
3 Moreover take for yourself an iron pan, and set it as a
wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face
against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay
siege against it. This shall be an ot to Beit Yisrael. 2342
4 Lie also upon your left side, and lay the iniquity of Beit
Yisrael upon it: according to the number of the days that
you shall lie upon it you shall bear their iniquity.
5 For I have laid upon you the years of their iniquity,
according to the number of the days, three hundred and
ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of Beit
Yisrael. 2343
6 And when you have accomplished them, lie again on
your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of Beit
Yahudah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a
2344 2345
year.
7 Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of
Yahrushalayim, and your arm shall be uncovered, and
you shall prophesy against it.
8 And, see, I will lay chains upon you, and you shall not
turn from one side to another, until you have ended the
days of your siege.
9 Take also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and
millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make
lechem from it, according to the number of the days that
you shall lie upon your side, three hundred ninety days
shall you eat of it. 2346
10 And your food that you shall eat shall be by weight,
