1. And you, son of man, take a brick to yourself, and lay it before you, and engrave on it a city, Jerusalem.
|
1. Thou H859 also, son H1121 of man H120 , take H3947 thee a tile H3843 , and lay H5414 it before H6440 thee , and portray H2710 upon H5921 it the city H5892 , even H853 Jerusalem H3389 :
|
|
2. And lay a siege on it, and build a fort on it, and pour out a ramp on it. And place a camp on it, and set battering rams all around on it.

|
3. And you, take a griddle of iron to yourself, and place it as a wall of iron between you and the city. And place your face against it, and it shall be under siege, and thrust upon it. It is a sign to the house of Israel.
|
3. Moreover take H3947 thou H859 unto thee an iron H1270 pan H4227 , and set H5414 it for a wall H7023 of iron H1270 between H996 thee and the city H5892 : and set H3559 H853 thy face H6440 against H413 it , and it shall be H1961 besieged H4692 , and thou shalt lay siege H6696 against H5921 it. This H1931 shall be a sign H226 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
4. And you, lie down on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it. The number of the days that you shall lie down on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
|
4. Lie H7901 thou H859 also upon H5921 thy left H8042 side H6654 , and lay H7760 H853 the iniquity H5771 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 upon H5921 it: according to the number H4557 of the days H3117 that H834 thou shalt lie H7901 upon H5921 it thou shalt bear H5375 H853 their iniquity H5771 .
|
|
5. For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of days: three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the house of Israel's iniquity.
|
5. For I H589 have laid H5414 upon thee H853 the years H8141 of their iniquity H5771 , according to the number H4557 of the days H3117 , three H7969 hundred H3967 and ninety H8673 days H3117 : so shalt thou bear H5375 the iniquity H5771 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
6. And when you complete them, even lie on your right side, the second. And you shall bear the house of Judah's iniquity forty days; a day for a year. I have set it for you, a day for a year.
|
6. And when thou hast accomplished H3615 H853 them H428 , lie H7901 again H8145 on H5921 thy right H3233 side H6654 , and thou shalt bear H5375 H853 the iniquity H5771 of the house H1004 of Judah H3063 forty H705 days H3117 : I have appointed H5414 thee each day for a year H3117 H8141 H3117 H8141 .
|
|
7. And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm bared; and you shall prophesy over it.
|
7. Therefore thou shalt set H3559 thy face H6440 toward H413 the siege H4692 of Jerusalem H3389 , and thine arm H2220 shall be uncovered H2834 , and thou shalt prophesy H5012 against H5921 it.
|
|
8. And, behold, I will put cords on you, and you cannot turn from your side to your other side until you have completed the days of your siege.
|
8. And, behold H2009 , I will lay H5414 bands H5688 upon H5921 thee , and thou shalt not H3808 turn H2015 thee from one side H4480 H6654 to H413 another H6654 , till H5704 thou hast ended H3615 the days H3117 of thy siege H4692 .
|
|
9. And you, take to yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and place them in a single vessel; and make them for yourself into bread, to the number of days that you are lying on your side. You shall eat it three hundred and ninety days.

|
10. And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight: twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
|
10. And thy meat H3978 which H834 thou shalt eat H398 shall be by weight H4946 , twenty H6242 shekels H8255 a day H3117 : from time H4480 H6256 to H5704 time H6256 shalt thou eat H398 it.
|
|
11. And you shall drink water by measure: the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
|
11. Thou shalt drink H8354 also water H4325 by measure H4884 , the sixth part H8345 of a hin H1969 : from time H4480 H6256 to H5704 time H6256 shalt thou drink H8354 .
|
|
12. And you shall eat cakes of barley, and you shall bake it with dung of the excrement of man, in their sight.
|
12. And thou shalt eat H398 it as barley H8184 cakes H5692 , and thou shalt bake H5746 it H1931 with dung H1561 that cometh out H6627 of man H120 , in their sight H5869 .
|
|
13. And Jehovah said, Even so the sons of Israel shall eat their defiled bread among the nations there where I will drive them.
|
13. And the LORD H3068 said H559 , Even thus H3602 shall the children H1121 of Israel H3478 eat H398 their defiled H2931 H853 bread H3899 among the Gentiles H1471 , whither H834 H8033 I will drive H5080 them.
|
|
14. Then I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been defiled. I have not even eaten a carcass or a torn animal, from my youth even until now. And unclean flesh has not come into my mouth.
|
14. Then said H559 I, Ah H162 Lord H136 GOD H3069 ! behold H2009 , my soul H5315 hath not H3808 been polluted H2930 : for from my youth H4480 H5271 up even till H5704 now H6258 have I not H3808 eaten H398 of that which dieth of itself H5038 , or is torn in pieces H2966 ; neither H3808 came H935 there abominable H6292 flesh H1320 into my mouth H6310 .
|
|
15. Then He said to me, See, I have given to you the dung of cattle in place of the dung of man. And you shall make bread over it.
|
15. Then he said H559 unto H413 me, Lo H7200 , I have given H5414 thee H853 cow H1241 's dung H6832 for H8478 man H120 's dung H1561 , and thou shalt prepare H6213 H853 thy bread H3899 therewith H5921 .
|
|
16. And He said to me, Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxiety. And they shall drink water by measure, and in horror,
|
16. Moreover he said H559 unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man H120 , behold H2009 , I will break H7665 the staff H4294 of bread H3899 in Jerusalem H3389 : and they shall eat H398 bread H3899 by weight H4948 , and with care H1674 ; and they shall drink H8354 water H4325 by measure H4884 , and with astonishment H8078 :
|
|
17. because they will lack bread and water, and each one be stunned with his brother. And they will waste away in their iniquity.
|
17. That H4616 they may want H2637 bread H3899 and water H4325 , and be astonished H8074 one H376 with another H251 , and consume away H4743 for their iniquity H5771 .
