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.

You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it the 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 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 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.

Moreover take you to you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you 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.

Lie you also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it you 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 laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you 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 when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.

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

Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you 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 will lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your 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.

Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.

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 your meat which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it.

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

You shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shall you drink.

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

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 the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, 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 said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh 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 you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.

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 care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

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 want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
