Ezekiel 4

1 “But you, son of man, take a brick for yourself and place it before you. Then carve the city of Jerusalem on it.

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.

2 Then lay siege against it, and build forts against it. Raise up an assault ramp against it and set camps around it. Place battering rams all around it.

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.

3 Then take for yourself an iron pan and use it as an iron wall between yourself and the city and set your face against it, for it will be under siege, and you are to put the siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.

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.

4 Then, lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel on it; you will carry their sin for the number of the days that you lie down against the house of Israel.

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.

5 I myself am assigning to you one day to represent each year of their punishment: 390 days! In this way, you will carry the sin of the house of Israel.

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.

6 When you have completed these days, then lie down a second time on your right side, for you will carry the sin of the house of Judah for forty days. I am assigning to you one day for each year.

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.

7 Set your face toward Jerusalem that is under siege, and with your arm uncovered prophesy against it.

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

8 For behold! I am placing bonds on you so you will not turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.

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.

9 Take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make bread for yourself according to the number of the days that you will lie upon your side. For 390 days you will eat it.

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.

10 The food you will eat will be by weight, twenty shekels per day, and you will eat it at set times each day.

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.

11 Then you will drink water, measured out to a sixth of a hin, and you will drink it at set times.

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

12 You will eat it as barley cakes, but you will bake it on excrement of human dung within their sight!”

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.

13 For Yahweh says, “This means that the bread that the people of Israel will eat will be unclean, there among the nations where I will banish them.”

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

14 But I said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh! I have never been unclean! I have never eaten either anything that died or anything killed by animals, from my youth until now, and foul meat has never entered my mouth!”

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.

15 So he said to me, “Look! I have given you cow manure instead of human dung so you can prepare your bread over that.”

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.

16 He also said to me, “Son of man! Behold! I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread while rationing it in anxiety and drink water while rationing it in trembling.

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.

17 Because they will lack bread and water, every man will be dismayed at his brother and waste away because of their iniquity.”

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.
