| [1]`And thou, son of man, take to thee a brick, and thou hast put it before thee, and hast graven on it a city -- Jerusalem, |
[1]Thou also son of man, take thee a brick, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem, |
| [2]and hast placed against it a siege, and builded against it a fortification, and poured out against it a mount, and placed against it camps, yea, set thou against it battering-rams round about. |
[2]And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it: set the camp also against it, and lay engines of war against it round about. |
| [3]And thou, take to thee an iron pan, and thou hast made it a wall of iron between thee and the city; and thou hast prepared thy face against it, and it hath been in a siege, yea, thou hast laid siege against it. A sign it [is] to the house of Israel. |
[3]Moreover, take an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city, and direct thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a sign unto the house of Israel. |
| [4]`And thou, lie on thy left side, and thou hast placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that thou liest on it, thou bearest their iniquity. |
[4]Sleep thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days, that thou shalt sleep upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity. |
| [5]And I -- I have laid on thee the years of their iniquity, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou hast borne the iniquity of the house of Israel. |
[5]For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, even three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. |
| [6]And thou hast completed these, and hast lain on thy right side, a second time, and hast borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days -- a day for a year -- a day for a year I have appointed to thee. |
[6]And when thou hast accomplished them, sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee a day for a year, even a day for a year. |
| [7]`And unto the siege of Jerusalem thou dost prepare thy face, and thine arm [is] uncovered, and thou hast prophesied concerning it. |
[7]Therefore thou shalt direct thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. |
| [8]And lo, I have put on thee thick bands, and thou dost not turn from side to side till thy completing the days of thy siege. |
[8]And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. |
| [9]`And thou, take to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and thou hast put them in one vessel, and made them to thee for bread; the number of the days that thou art lying on thy side -- three hundred and ninety days -- thou dost eat it. |
[9]Thou shalt take also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, 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 sleep upon thy side: even three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. |
| [10]And thy food that thou dost eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it. |
[10]And the meat, whereof thou shalt eat, shall be by weight, even twenty shekels a day: and from time to time shalt thou eat thereof. |
| [11]`And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink [it]. |
[11]Thou shalt drink also water by measure, even the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. |
| [12]A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung -- the filth of man -- thou dost bake before their eyes. |
[12]And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in the dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. |
| [13]And Jehovah saith, `Thus do the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations whither I drive them.' |
[13]And the Lord said, So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will cast them. |
| [14]And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled, and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.' |
[14]Then said I, Ah, Lord God, behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up, even unto this hour, I have not eaten of a thing dead, or torn in pieces, neither came there any unclean flesh in my mouth. |
| [15]And He saith unto me, `See, I have given to thee bullock's dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy bread by it.' |
[15]Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee bullocks' dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. |
| [16]And He saith unto me, `Son of man, lo, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they do drink; |
[16]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. |
| [17]so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity. |
[17]Because that bread and water shall fail, they shall be astonied one with another, and shall consume away for their iniquity. |
