¶ The .iiij. Chapter.
¶ The besege of the cytie of Ierusalem is signifyed.
The longe contynuaunce of the captiuitye of Israel.
An honger is prophecyed to come in the captiuitye.
A Thou sonne of man: take a tyle stone, ∧
laye it before the, and descrybe vpon
it the cytie of Ierusal&ebar;, howe it is beseged,
howe bulwarkes and stronge dyches
are grauen on euery syde of it: descrybe also
tentes, and an hoost of men ro&ubar;de aboute it.
wyth engynes of warre.
Moreouer, take an yron panne, and set it
betwixte the and the cyte, in steade of an yr&obar;
wall. Then set thy face toward it, besege it,
and laye ordinaunce agaynst it, to wynne it.
Thys shalbe a token vnto the house of Israel.
But thou shalt slepe vp&obar; thy left syde,
and laye the synne of the house of Israel vp&obar;
the. Certayne dayes appoynted, thou shalt
slepe vpon that syde, and beare their synnes.
note
B Neuerthelesse, I will appoynte the a tyme
(to put of theyr synnes) ∧ the nombre of the
dayes: Thre hundreth and .xc. dayes must
thou beare the wyckednesse of the house of
Israell. Wh&ebar; thou hast fulfylled these dayes
lye downe agayne, and slepe vp&obar; thy ryght
syde .xl. dayes, and beare the synnes of the
house of Iuda.
noteA daye for a yeare, a daye (I saye) for a
yeare, wyll I euer laye vpon the. Therfore
set nowe thy face agaynst that beseged Ierusalem,
and discouer thyne arme, that thou
mayest prophecye agaynst it.
Beholde, I wyll laye chaynes vpon the,
that thou shalt not turne the from one syde
to another, tyll thou hast ended the dayes of
thy sege.
C Wherfore, take vnto the wheate, barly
beanes, growell sede, Milium and fytches:
and put these together in a vessel, and make
the loaues of bread therof, accordynge to the
nombre of the dayes that thou must lye vp&obar;
thy syde: that thou mayest haue bread to eate,
for thre hundreth and .xx. dayes.
And the meate that thou eatest, shall haue
a certayne wayght appoynted: namely
twentye sycles euery daye. Thys apoynted
meate shalt thou eate daylye, fr&obar; the begynnynge
to the ende.
Thou shalt dryncke also a certayne measure
of water: Namely, the syxt parte of an
Hin shalt thou dryncke dayly fr&obar; the begynnyng
vnto the ende. Barly cakes shalt thou
eate, yet shalt thou fyrst tost them at a fyre
made with mans d&obar;ge, that they maye se it.
And with that sayde the Lorde: Euen thus
shall the chyldr&ebar; of Israel eate their defyled
bread in the myddest of the G&ebar;tiles, am&obar;ge
whom I wyll scatre them.
-- --
D Then sayde I: Oh Lorde God. Beholde
my soule was yet neuer stayned: for fro my
youth vp vnto this houre, I dyd neuer eate
of a deed carcase, or of that which was slayne
of wylde beastes, nether came there euer
eny vncleane fleshe in my mouth.
Wher vnto he answered me, and sayde:
well than, I wyll graunte þe; to take cowes
donge for the donge of a m&abar;, and to toste the
bread wyth all before them.
And he sayde vnto me: Beholde thou sonne
of man, note I wyll mynishe all the prouisi&obar;
of bread in Ierusal&ebar;, so that they shall weye
their bred: and eate it with scarcenesse. But
as for water, they shall haue a very lytle measure
therof, to drincke. And when they haue
nomore bread ner water, one shall be destroyed
with another, &abar;d famysh awaye for
theyr wyckednesse.
