Ezekiel 4:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Therefore thou shalt direct thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine [a]arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8 And behold, I will lay [b]bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
9 Thou shalt take also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, [c]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 [d]three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
