American Standard Version
“Now
you
, son of man, take a brick
, place
it before you
, and draw
on
it the
city of
Jerusalem .
Thou
also
, son of man, take thee
a tile
, and
lay
it before thee
, and portray
upon
it a
city ,
even
Jerusalem :
Then
lay siege against it :
Construct
a
siege
wall
, build a
ramp
to
it, set
up camps against it, and place
battering rams around
it on
all
sides
.
and
lay siege against it, and
build forts
against
it, and
cast
up a
mound
against
it;
set
camps also
against it, and plant
battering rams against
it round
about
.
Then
take an iron plate
and set it up
as
an
iron
wall between yourself
and the city .
Turn
your
face toward it so
that
it is
under
siege
, and besiege
it. This will
be a sign to the house of Israel.
And
take thou
unto
thee
an iron pan,
and set it for
a
wall of
iron
between thee
and the city :
and
set
thy
face toward it ,
and
it shall
be
besieged
, and thou
shalt
lay
siege
against
it. This shall
be a sign to the house of Israel.
Then
lie down
on
your
left side and place
the iniquity of the house of Israel upon yourself.
You
are
to bear
their
iniquity
for
the number of days you
lie on
your
side
.
Moreover
lie thou
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
.
For I have assigned
to
you
390
days,
according
to
the number
of
years of their iniquity .
So you
shall
bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
For I have appointed
the years of their iniquity to
be
unto
thee
a
number
of
days,
even
three
hundred
and
ninety
days:
so shalt
thou
bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
When you
have
completed
these days
, lie down
again,
but
on your
right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah .
I
have
assigned
to
you
40
days, a
day for each
year.
And
again,
when thou
hast
accomplished
these, thou
shalt
lie on thy
right side, and shalt
bear the iniquity of the house of Judah :
forty
days, each
day for a
year ,
have
I
appointed
it
unto
thee
.
You
must
turn
your
face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your
arm bared,
and prophesy against it.
And
thou
shalt
set
thy
face toward the siege of Jerusalem ,
with thine
arm uncovered;
and thou
shalt
prophesy against it.
Now
behold, I will
tie
you
up
with
ropes
so
you
cannot
turn from side to side
until
you
have
finished
the days of your
siege.
And,
behold, I lay
bands
upon
thee,
and
thou
shalt
not
turn thee
from one
side to the other,
till
thou
hast
accomplished
the
days of thy
siege.
But
take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt ;
put them in a
single
container
and make them
into
bread for
yourself.
This
is
what
you
are
to eat
during
the 390
days you
lie on
your
side.
Take thou
also
unto
thee
wheat, and
barley, and
beans, and
lentils, and
millet, and spelt ,
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 ,
even
three
hundred
and
ninety
days,
shalt
thou
eat
thereof
.
You
are
to
weigh
out
twenty
shekels
of
food to
eat each
day
, and
you
are
to eat it at
set
times
.
And
thy
food which
thou
shalt
eat shall
be
by
weight
, twenty
shekels
a
day:
from
time
to time
shalt
thou
eat it.
You
are
also
to
measure out
a
sixth of a hin of
water
to
drink,
and
you
are
to drink it
at
set
times
.
And
thou
shalt
drink
water
by
measure ,
the
sixth part
of a hin :
from
time
to time
shalt
thou
drink.
And you
shall
eat the
food
as you
would
a
barley cake
, after
you
bake it over
dried
human
excrement
in the
sight of the
people
. ”
And thou
shalt
eat it
as barley cakes
, and
thou
shalt
bake it in their
sight with
dung
that
cometh
out
of man
.
Then
the
LORD
said, “This
is
how
the Israelites
will
eat their defiled
bread among the nations to
which
I will banish
them. ”
And
Jehovah
said, Even
thus
shall
the children
of
Israel
eat their bread unclean,
among the nations whither
I will drive
them.
“Ah
, Lord GOD,”
I
said
, “I
have
never
defiled
myself.
From my youth until
now I
have not eaten anything
found
dead
or mauled
by
wild
beasts .
No
unclean
meat
has
ever
entered
my mouth. ”
Then
said
I
, Ah
Lord Jehovah!
behold
, my
soul
hath
not
been
polluted;
for
from my youth up
even
till
now have I
not eaten of
that
which
dieth
of
itself,
or is
torn
of
beasts ;
neither
came
there
abominable
flesh
into
my mouth.
“Look,”
He replied
, “
I will
let
you
use
cow
dung instead
of
human
excrement
, and you
may
bake
your
bread over
that
. ”
Then
he said
unto
me
, See,
I have
given
thee
cow's
dung for
man's
dung
, and thou
shalt
prepare
thy
bread thereon
.
Then
He told
me, “
Son of man, I am
going
to
cut
off
the supply
of food
in Jerusalem .
They will
anxiously
eat bread rationed
by weight, and in
despair
they will
drink water by measure .
Moreover
he said
unto
me, Son of man, behold,
I will
break
the staff
of bread
in Jerusalem :
and
they shall
eat bread by weight, and with
fearfulness;
and
they shall
drink water by measure ,
and
in
dismay:
So
they will
lack
food
and water ;
they
will
be appalled
at
the
sight
of
one another wasting
away in their iniquity.
that
they may
want
bread
and water ,
and
be dismayed
one with
another ,
and
pine
away in their iniquity.
