Ezekiel 4:1-13

Bible Text

[1] You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem: [2] and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about. [3] Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel. [4] Moreover lie you 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] For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. [6] Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you. [7] You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it. [8] Behold, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege. [9] Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread of it; [according to] the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, shall you eat of it. [10] Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it. [11] You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shall you drink. [12] You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man. [13] Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.
