Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Ezekiel 4
⁸ And surely I will restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege.
⁹ "Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it.
¹⁰ And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it.
¹¹ You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink.
¹² And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight."
¹³ Then the Lord said, "So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them."
¹⁴ So I said, "Ah, Lord God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth."
¹⁵ Then He said to me, "See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it."
¹⁶ Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, surely I will cut off the supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and with dread,
¹⁷ that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and waste away because of their iniquity.
Ezekiel 5
¹ "And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber’s razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair.
