New Testament

Ezekiel 4:7-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. Then you will turn your face toward the army attacking Jerusalem. With your arm bare, you will prophesy against Jerusalem.

8. I will put ropes on you so you cannot turn from one side to the other. This will last until you have finished the days of your attack on Jerusalem.

9. “Take wheat, barley, beans, small peas and millet seeds. And put them in one bowl. Make them into bread for yourself. You will eat it the 390 days you lie on your side.

10. You will eat eight ounces of food every day. You will eat it at set times.

11. You will drink about two-thirds of a quart of water every day. Drink it at set times.

12. Eat your food as you would eat a barley cake. Bake it over human dung where the people can see.”

13. Then the Lord said, “In the same way Israel will eat unclean food. They will eat it among the nations where I force them to go.”

14. But I said, “No, Lord God! I have never been made unclean. From the time I was young until now I’ve never eaten anything that died by itself. And I’ve never eaten anything torn by animals. Unclean meat has never entered my mouth.”
