“Now
you, son of man, take a brick
, place
it before you, and draw
on it the
city of
Jerusalem .
You also
, son of man, take a tile
, and
lay
it before you, and portray
on 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.
Take for
yourself
an iron pan,
and set it for
a
wall of
iron
between you
and the city :
and
set
your face toward it ,
and
it shall
be
besieged
, and you
shall
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 you
on your left side ,
and lay
the iniquity of the house of Israel on
it;
[according
to ]
the number of the
days that
you shall
lie on it,
you
shall
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
to
you a
number
of
days,
even
three
hundred
ninety
days:
so
shall you
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.
Again,
when you have accomplished
these, you
shall
lie on your right side, and shall
bear the iniquity of the house of Judah :
forty
days, each
day for a
year ,
have
I
appointed
it
to
you
.
You must
turn
your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared,
and prophesy against it.
You shall
set
your face toward the siege of Jerusalem ,
with your arm uncovered;
and you
shall
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.
Behold, I lay
bands
on
you ,
and
you shall
not
turn you
from one
side to the
other,
until you have accomplished
the days of your 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 for
yourself
also
wheat, and
barley, and
beans, and
lentils, and
millet, and spelt ,
and
put them in one
vessel,
and make you bread
of
it;
[according
to ]
the number
of
the
days that
you shall
lie on your side ,
even
three
hundred
ninety
days,
shall
you
eat
of
it
.
You are
to
weigh
out
twenty shekels of
food
to
eat
each
day ,
and
you
are
to eat it at
set
times
.
Your
food
which
you shall
eat
shall
be
by
weight,
twenty shekels a
day :
from
time
to time
shall
you
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
.
You shall
drink
water
by
measure ,
the
sixth part
of a hin :
from
time
to time
shall
you 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
. ”
You shall eat it
as barley cakes
, and
you shall
bake it in their
sight with
dung
that
comes
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. ”
Yahweh
said, Even
thus
shall
the children
of
Israel
eat their bread unclean,
among the nations where
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 Yahweh!
behold
, my
soul
has
not
been
polluted;
for
from my youth up
even
until now have I
not eaten of
that
which
dies
of
itself,
or is
torn
of
animals;
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
to
me
, Behold,
I have
given
you cow's
dung for
man's
dung
, and you shall
prepare
your 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
to
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.
