Ezekiel:4:9-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight ,
twenty shekels a day :
from time to time shalt thou eat it .
*
Thou shalt drink also water by measure ,
the sixth part of an hin :
from time to time shalt thou drink .
*
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes ,
and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man ,
in their sight .
*
And the LORD said ,
Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles ,
whither I will drive them .
*
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 .
*
Then he said unto me ,
Lo ,
I have given thee cow '
s dung for man '
s dung ,
and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith .
*
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 :
*
That they may want bread and water ,
and be astonied one with another ,
and consume away for their iniquity .
