Ezekiel 4:1 And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.	Ezekiel 4:1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem:
Ezekiel 4:2 And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.	Ezekiel 4:2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.
Ezekiel 4:3 And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.

This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

Ezekiel 4:5 For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.

Ezekiel 4:7 And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.	Ezekiel 4:7 And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Ezekiel 4:8 And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.

Ezekiel 4:9 And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.	Ezekiel 4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, 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, even three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat thereof.

Ezekiel 4:12 And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.	Ezekiel 4:12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man.
Ezekiel 4:13 And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.	Ezekiel 4:13 And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither I will drive them.
Ezekiel 4:14 Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.	Ezekiel 4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord Jehovah! 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 of beasts; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Ezekiel 4:15 Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.	Ezekiel 4:15 Then he said unto me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereon.

Ezekiel 4:17 So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.	Ezekiel 4:17 that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
