Ezekiel 4:5-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. For I have assigned you the years of their iniquity according to the number of days you lie down, 390 days; so you will bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6. When you have completed these days, lie down again, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.

7. You must turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it.

8. Be aware that I will put cords on you so you cannot turn from side to side until you have finished the days of your siege.

9. “Also take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt. Put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the number of days you lie on your side, 390 days.

10. The food you eat each day will be eight ounces by weight; you will eat it from time to time.

11. You are also to drink water by measure, a sixth of a gallon, which you will drink from time to time.

12. You will eat it as you would a barley cake and bake it over dried human excrement in their sight.”

13. The Lord said, “This is how the Israelites will eat their bread — ceremonially unclean — among the nations where I will banish them.”
