Ezekiel 4

4:1And you, O son of man, take unto yourself a brick! and you shall put it before your face,; and you shall diagram upon it the city of Jerusalem.

4:2And you shall put an encompassment about against it; and you shall build battlements against it; and you shall put around upon it a siege mound; and you shall put camps upon it, and shall order the range of weapons round about.

4:3And you, take to yourself a frying pan of iron! And you shall make it a wall of iron between you and between the city. And you shall prepare your face against it, and it will be for a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the sons of Israel.

4:4And you shall go to sleep upon your left side, and you shall put the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days which you shall sleep upon it. And you shall take their iniquities.

4:5And I have appointed to you the two things for their iniquities for a number of days -- ninety and three hundred days; and you shall take the iniquities of the house of Israel.

4:6And you shall complete these, and then go to sleep upon your right side, and you shall take the iniquities of the house of Judah -- forty days; a day for a year is established to you.

4:7And for the siege of Jerusalem you shall prepare your face, and you shall stiffen your arm, and you shall prophesy against it.

4:8And I, behold, I have appointed for you bonds, and you shall not be turned from your one side unto your other side, until of which time the days of your siege should be completed.

4:9And you, take to yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and wild oats! And put them into one earthenware container, and make them into bread loaves for yourself! And according to the number of the days which you slept upon your side -- ninety and three hundred days -- you shall eat them.

4:10And your food which you shall eat by weight is twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat them.

4:11And you shall drink water by measure; the sixth of the hin you shall drink from time to time.

4:12And a cake baked in hot ashes of barley -- you shall eat them baked in dung, you shall hide them in the coals of the dung of a human before their eyes.

4:13Thus says the lord God of Israel; So shall the sons of Israel eat unclean among the nations which I cast them.

4:14And I said, By no means, O lord God of Israel, since my soul has not been defiled in uncleanness; and I have not eaten decaying flesh and that taken by wild beasts from my birth until the present; nor has any profane meat entered into my mouth.

4:15And he said to me, Behold, I give to you dung of oxen instead of the dung of humans, and you shall make bread loaves upon them.

4:16And he said to me, O son of man, behold, I shall break the reliance of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight and in lack; and they shall drink water by measure and unto extinction;

4:17so that they should be lacking of bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be obliterated; and they shall melt away in their iniquities.
