SoI wentto the angel,tellinghim to giveme the little book.And he saidto me, "Takeit and eatit; it will makeyour stomachbitter,but in your mouthit will be sweetas honey."
"I have not departedfrom the commandof His lips;I have treasuredthe wordsof His mouthmorethanmy necessaryfood.
Your wordswere foundand I atethem, And Your wordsbecamefor me a joyand the delightof my heart;For I have been calledby Your name,O LORDGodof hosts.
"Now you, sonof man,listento whatI am speakingto you; do not be rebelliouslike that rebellioushouse.Openyour mouthand eatwhatI am givingyou."
So the Spiritliftedme up and tookme away; and I wentembitteredin the rageof my spirit,and the handof the LORDwas strongon me.
For it is becauseof these thingsthat the wrathof Godwill comeupon the sonsof disobedience,
I tookthe little bookout of the angel'shandand ateit, and in my mouthit was sweetas honey;and whenI had eatenit, my stomachwas made bitter.
