Ezekiel 4:6-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. And when you will have completed this, you shall sleep a second time, on your right side, and you shall assume the iniquity of the house of Judah for forty days: one day for each year; one day, I say, for each year, have I given to you.

7. And you shall turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be extended. And you shall prophesy against it.

8. Behold, I have surrounded you with chains. And you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other side, until you have completed the days of your siege.

9. And you shall take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and vetch. And you shall set them in one vessel, and you shall make for yourself bread by the number of days that you will sleep upon your side: three hundred and ninety days shall you shall eat from it.

10. But your food, which you will eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day. You shall eat it from time to time.

11. And you shall drink water by measure, one sixth part of a hin. You shall drink it from time to time.

12. And you shall eat it like barley bread baked under ashes. And you shall cover it, in their sight, with the dung that goes out of a man."
