Ezekiel 4

1 And you O son of humankind take yourself a brick and you will set it before you and you will inscribe on it a city Jerusalem.

Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.

2 And you will make on it a siege and you will build on it a siege-wall and you will pour out on it a mound and you will set up on it armies and set on it battering-rams all around.

And lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.

3 And you take yourself a baking tray of iron and you will make it a wall of iron between you and between the city and you will direct face your to it and it will be in state of siege and you will lay siege on it [will be] a sign it for [the] house of Israel.

And take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city. And set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

4 And you lie down on side your left and you will put [the] iniquity of [the] house of Israel on it [the] number of the days which you will lie on it you will bear iniquity their.

Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon it, thou shall bear their iniquity.

5 And I I have assigned to you [the] years of iniquity their to [the] number of days three hundreds and ninety day[s] and you will bear [the] iniquity of [the] house of Israel.

For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be a number of days to thee, even three hundred and ninety days. So thou shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 And you will complete these and you will lie down on side your (right *Q(K)*) a second [time] and you will bear [the] iniquity of [the] house of Judah forty day[s] a day for the year a day for the year I have assigned it to you.

And again, when thou have accomplished these, thou shall lie on thy right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, each day for a year. I have appointed it to thee.

7 And to [the] siege of Jerusalem you will direct face your and arm your [will be] bared and you will prophesy on it.

And thou shall set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered, and thou shall prophesy against it.

8 And there! I will put on you ropes and not you will turn yourself from side your to side your until completing you [the] days of siege your.

And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shall not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou have accomplished the days of thy siege.

9 And you take yourself wheat and barley and bean[s] and lentils and millet and spelt and you will put them in a vessel one and you will make them for yourself into bread [the] number of the days which you - [will be] lying on side your three hundreds and ninety day[s] you will eat it.

Also take thou to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of it, according to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, thou shall eat of it.

10 And food your which you will eat it by weight [will be] twenty shekel[s] to the day from time to time you will eat it.

And thy food which thou shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. Thou shall eat it from time to time.

11 And water by measure you will drink sixth of hin from time to time you will drink [it].

And thou shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. Thou shall drink from time to time.

12 And a bread cake of barley you will eat it and it in [the] dung of [the] excrement of humankind you will bake it to eyes their.

And thou shall eat it as barley cakes, and thou shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

13 And he said Yahweh thus they will eat [the] people of Israel bread their unclean among the nations where I will banish them there.

And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.

14 And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh here! self my not [has been] made unclean and a carcass and a torn animal not I have eaten since youth my and until now and not it has gone in mouth my [the] flesh of unclean meat.

Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.

15 And he said to me see I give to you ([the] dung of *Q(k)*) cattle in place of [the] dung of humankind and you will make bread your on them.

Then he said to me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shall prepare thy bread of it.

16 And he said to me O son of humankind here I [am] about to break [the] staff of bread in Jerusalem and they will eat bread by weight and in anxiety and water by measure and in horror they will drink.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness, and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay,

17 So that they may lack bread and water and they will be appalled everyone and brother his and they will waste away in iniquity their.

that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
