This is a sign R99 to the house of Israel. 4 "As for you, lie down on your left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; you shall bear R100 their iniquity for the number of days that you lie on it. 5 "For I have assigned you a number of days corresponding to the years of their iniquity, three hundred and ninety days; thus you R101 shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 "When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each R102 year. 7 "Then you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared and prophesy R103 against it. 8 "Now behold, I will put R104 ropes on you so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege. 9 "But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, R105 put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days. 10 "Your food which you eat shall be twenty R106 shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time. 11 "The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time. 12 "You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human dung." R107 13 Then the LORD said, "Thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean R108 among the nations where I will banish them." 14 But I said, "Ah, R109 Lord GOD! Behold, I have never R110 been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died R111 of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean R112 meat ever entered my mouth." 15 Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread." 16 Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, behold, I am going to break R113 the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight R114 and with anxiety, and drink water by measure R115 and in horror, 17 because bread and water will be scarce; and they will be appalled with one another and waste R116 away in their iniquity. |  | | 5:1-17 - Study Chapter - Click for Chapter Audio | 1 "As for you, son of man, take a sharp R117 sword; take and use F47 it as a barber's razor on your head and beard. Then take scales R118 for weighing and divide the F48 hair. 2 "One third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city, when the days R119 of the siege are completed. Then you shall take one third and strike it with the sword all around the F49 city, and one third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will unsheathe R120 a sword behind them. 3 "Take also a few in number from them F50 and bind them in the edges of your robes. 4 "Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will spread F51 to all the house of Israel. 5 "Thus says the Lord GOD, `This is Jerusalem; R121 I have set her at the center R122 of the nations, with lands around her. 6 `But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes more R123 than the lands which surround her; for they have rejected R124 My ordinances and have not walked in F53 My statutes.' 7 "Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, `Because you have more R125 turmoil than the nations which surround you and have not walked in My statutes, nor observed My ordinances, nor observed the ordinances of the nations which surround you,' 8 therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, `Behold, I, even I, am against R126 you, and I will execute R127 judgments among you in the sight of the nations. 9 `And because of all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not R128 done, and the like of which I will never do again. 10 `Therefore, fathers R129 will eat their sons among you, and sons will eat their fathers; for I will execute judgments on you and scatter R130 all your remnant to every wind. 11 `So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, `surely, because you have defiled R131 My sanctuary with all your detestable R132 idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare. 12 `One third of you will die by plague R133 or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter R134 to every wind, and I will unsheathe R135 a sword behind them. 13 `Thus My anger will be spent and I will satisfy F54 My wrath on them, and I will be appeased; R136 F55 then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken R137 in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them. 14 `Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach R138 among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by. 15 `So it F56 will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning R139 and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute R140 judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken. 16 `When I send against them the deadly F57 arrows of famine which were F58 for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread. 17 `Moreover, I R141 will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; plague R142 and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken.' " |
