Ezekiel 4:9-17

Lexham English Bible LEB

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!"

15 And he said to me, "See I will give you {cattle manure} in the place of the feces of a human, and you may prepare your food on it."

16 And he said to me, "Son of man, look, I [am] going to break the {supply} of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight, {anxiously}, and {rationed water}, and they will drink with horror,

17 so that they will lack food and water, and they will be appalled {with one another}, and they will waste away because of their guilt.

New International Version NIV

9 “Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side.

10 Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times.

11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times.

12 Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel.”

13 The LORD said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”

14 Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.”

15 “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”

16 He then said to me: “Son of man, I am about to cut off the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,

17 for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin.
