³ ‘Son of man,’ he said to me, ‘feed your stomach and fill your belly with this scroll I am giving you.’ So I ate it,^(A) and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.^(B)

⁹ So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, ‘Take and eat it; it will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.’^(A)
