Ezekiel 4:6-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. When you have completed these, then you must lie a second time on your right side; and you must bear the guilt of the house of Judah forty days, a day for each year, a day for each year I give it to you.

7. And toward the siege of Jerusalem you must set your face and your bared arm; then you must prophesy against it.

8. Now look! I will put on you cords, and you may not turn yourself from one side to your other side until you complete the days of your siege.

9. “And you, take for yourself wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt, and you must put them in one vessel, and you must make them for yourself into a food during the number of days that you are lying on your side; three hundred and ninety days you shall eat it.

10. And your food that you will eat will be according to weight; twenty shekels for each day at fixed times you shall eat it.

11. And an amount of water you shall drink, a sixth of a hin; at fixed times you shall drink it.

12. And as a bread-cake of barley you shall eat it, and with human excrement you shall bake it before their eyes.”

13. And Yahweh said, “Thus shall the Israelites eat their unclean food among the nations where I will scatter them.”

14. And I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! I have not been defiling myself, and a dead body and mangled carcass I have not eaten from my childhood until now, and unclean meat has not come into my mouth!”
