King James 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 pourtray
upon
it the 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 a fort
against
it, and
cast
a
mount
against
it;
set the
camp
also
against it, and set
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.
Moreover
take thou
unto
thee
an iron pan,
and set it for
a
wall of
iron
between thee
and the city :
and
set
thy
face against
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
.
Lie thou
also
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 laid
upon
thee
the
years
of
their
iniquity
, according to the number of the
days,
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
when thou
hast
accomplished
them
, lie again on thy
right side, and thou
shalt
bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty
days:
I have appointed
thee
each
day for a
year.
You
must
turn
your
face toward the siege of Jerusalem with
your
arm bared
, and prophesy against it.
Therefore
thou
shalt
set
thy
face toward the siege of Jerusalem ,
and
thine
arm shall
be
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 will lay
bands
upon
thee,
and
thou
shalt
not
turn thee
from one
side to another,
till
thou
hast
ended
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
lentiles
, and
millet, and fitches,
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 ,
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
meat
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
.
Thou
shalt
drink
also water
by
measure ,
the
sixth part
of an
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 with
dung
that
cometh
out
of
man,
in their
sight.
Then
the LORD said, “This
is
how
the Israelites
will
eat their defiled bread among the nations
to
which
I will banish
them. ”
And
the LORD said, Even
thus
shall
the children
of
Israel
eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles,
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 GOD !
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
in
pieces;
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
, Lo,
I have
given
thee
cow's
dung for
man's
dung
, and thou
shalt
prepare
thy
bread therewith
.
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
care;
and
they shall
drink water by measure ,
and
with
astonishment:
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 astonied
one with
another ,
and
consume
away for
their iniquity.
