They hear or whether they refuse for They are rebellious But you son of man hear what I say to You Do not be rebellious like that Rebellious house Open your mouth And eat what I give you Now when I looked there was a hand Stretched out to me And behold a scroll of a book was in it Then he spread it before me And there was writing on the inside and On the outside And written on it were Lamentations and Mourning and woe
