* Thou also , son of man , take thee a tile , and lay it before thee , and pourtray upon it the city , even Jerusalem : * 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 . * 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 Yisra #el #. * 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 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 Yisra #el #. * And when thou hast accomplished them #el-leh #, lie again on thy right y @ side , and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty #arba #iym # days : I have appointed thee each day yowm # for a year shaneh #. * Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem , and thine arm shall be uncovered , and thou shalt prophesy against it . * 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 . * Take thou also unto thee wheat , and barley s @#orah #, 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 . * And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight , twenty shekels a day : from time to time shalt thou eat it . * Thou shalt drink also water by measure , the sixth part of an hin : from time to time shalt thou drink . * And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes , and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man , in their sight . * And the LORD said , Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles , whither I will drive them . * 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 . * Then he said unto me , Lo , I have given thee cows dung ts @ for mans dung , and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith . * 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 d @#agah #; and they shall drink water by measure , and with astonishment : * That they may want bread and water , and be astonied one with another , and consume away for their iniquity .
