Book 26 : EZEKIEL - Chapter 004
004:001
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
004:002
Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a
wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face
against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege
against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel
004:003
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the
house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days
that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity
004:004
For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity,
according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety
days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel
004:005
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right
side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah
forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year
004:006
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of
Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt
prophesy against it
004:007
And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not
turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the
days of thy siege
004:008
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and
lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel,
and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the
days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and
ninety days shalt thou eat thereof
004:009
And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty
shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it
004:010
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an
hin: from time to time shalt thou drink
004:011
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it
with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight
004:012
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat
their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive
them
004:013
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been
polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten
of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither
came there abominable flesh into my mouth
004:014
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for
man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith
004:015
Moreover he said unto 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
004:016
That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with
another, and consume away for their iniquity
