Ezekiel 4

American Standard Version

1Thou also, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a cityH5892, even JerusalemH3389: 2and lay siegeH4692 against it, and buildH1129 forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; setH7760 campsH4264 also against it, and plant battering rams against it roundH5439 about. 3And takeH3947 thou unto thee an ironH1270 pan, and setH5414 it for a wallH7023 of ironH1270 between thee and the cityH5892: and setH5414 thy faceH6440 toward it, and it shall beH1961 besieged, and thou shalt lay siegeH4692 against it. This shall beH1961 a signH226 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

4Moreover lieH7901 thou upon thy left sideH6654, and layH7901 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 upon it; according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon it, thou shalt bearH5375 their iniquityH5771. 5For I have appointed the yearsH8141 of their iniquityH5771 to be unto thee a numberH4557 of daysH3117, even threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117: so shalt thou bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 6And again, when thou hast accomplished these, thou shalt lieH7901 on thy right sideH6654, and shalt bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fortyH705 daysH3117, each dayH3117 for a yearH8141, have I appointed it unto thee. 7And thou shalt set thy faceH6440 toward the siegeH4692 of JerusalemH3389, with thine armH2220 uncovered; and thou shalt prophesyH5012 against it. 8And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turnH2015 thee from one sideH6654 to the other, till thou hast accomplished the daysH3117 of thy siegeH4692.

9TakeH3947 thou also unto thee wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and beansH6321, and lentilsH5742, and millet, and speltH3698, and putH5414 them in oneH259 vesselH3627, and makeH5414 thee breadH3899 thereof; according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon thy sideH6654, even threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117, shalt thou eatH398 thereof. 10And thy foodH3978 which thou shalt eatH398 shall be by weight, twentyH6242 shekelsH8255 a dayH3117: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou eatH398 it. 11And thou shalt drinkH8354 waterH4325 by measureH4884, the sixthH8345 part of a hinH1969: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou drinkH8354. 12And thou shalt eatH398 it as barleyH8184 cakesH5692, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dungH1561 that cometh out of manH120. 13And Jehovah saidH559, Even thusH3602 shall the children of IsraelH3478 eatH398 their breadH3899 uncleanH2931, among the nationsH1471 whither I will driveH5080 them. 14Then saidH559 I, Ah LordH136 Jehovah! behold, my soulH5315 hath not been polluted; for from my youthH5271 up even till nowH6258 have I not eatenH398 of that which dieth of itself, or is tornH2966 of beasts; neither cameH935 there abominable fleshH1320 into my mouthH6310. 15Then he saidH559 unto me, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 thee cow’s dung for man’sH120 dung, and thou shalt prepare thy breadH3899 thereon. 16Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of breadH3899 in JerusalemH3389: and they shall eatH398 breadH3899 by weightH4948, and with fearfulness; and they shall drinkH8354 waterH4325 by measureH4884, and in dismay: 17that they may want breadH3899 and waterH4325, and be dismayed oneH376 with another, and pine awayH4743 in their iniquityH5771.
