Ezekiel 4
1. Thou also, son of man, take * thee a tile, and lay * it before thee, and pourtray * upon it the city,even Jerusalem:
2. And lay * siege against it, and build * a fort against it, and cast * a mount against it; set * the camp also against it, and set * battering rams against it round about.
3. Moreover take * thou unto thee an iron pan, and set * it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set * thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege * against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4. Lie * thou also upon thy left side, and lay * the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie * upon it thou shalt bear * their iniquity.
5. For I have laid * upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear * the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6. And when thou hast accomplished * them,lie * again on thy right * side, and thou shalt bear * the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed * thee each day for a year.
7. Therefore thou shalt set * thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered * , and thou shalt prophesy * against it.
8. And, behold, I will lay * bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn * thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended * the days of thy siege.
9. Take * thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put * them in one vessel, and make * thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie * upon thy side,three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat * thereof.
10. And thy meat which thou shalt eat * shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat * it.
11. Thou shalt drink * also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink * .
12. And thou shalt eat * it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake * it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
13. And the LORD said * , Even thus shall the children of Israel eat * their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive * them.
14. Then said * I, Ah Lord GOD ! behold, my soul hath not been polluted * : for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten * of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came * there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15. Then he said * unto me, Lo * , I have given * thee cow's dung * for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare * thy bread therewith.
16. Moreover he said * unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break * the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat * bread by weight, and with care;and they shall drink * water by measure, and with astonishment:
17. That they may want * bread and water, and be astonied * one with another, and consume away * for their iniquity.
