remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous
man,
that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also
thou hast delivered thy soul.
22
And the hand of the L
ORD
was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the
plain, and I will there talk with thee.
23
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the
glory of the L
ORD
stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my
face.
24
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto
me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
25
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands
upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
26
And I will make
thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a
reprover: for they
are
a rebellious house.
27
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and
thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that
forbeareth, let him forbear: for they
are
a rebellious house.
CHAPTER 4
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city,
even
Jerusalem:
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 set
battering
rams against it round about.
3
Moreover take thou unto thee
an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and
it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This
shall be
a sign to the house of Israel.
4
Lie 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 lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5
For I have laid
upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety
days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6
And when thou hast accomplished
them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days:
I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of
Jerusalem, and thine arm
shall be
uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
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
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, 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 lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10
And thy meat
which thou shalt eat
shall be
by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou
drink.
12
And thou shalt eat it
as
barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of
man, in their sight.
13
And the L
ORD
said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled
