Seeker Overlay ON
* "
You also ,
son of man ,
take a clay tablet and lay it before you ,
and portray on it a city ,
Jerusalem .
*
Lay siege against it ,
build a siege wall against it ,
and heap up a mound against it ;
set camps against it also ,
and place battering rams against it all around .
*
Moreover take for yourself an iron plate ,
and set it as an iron wall between you and the city .
Set your face against it ,
and it shall be besieged ,
and you shall lay siege against it .
This will be a sign to the house of Israel .
* "
Lie also on your left side ,
and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it .
According to the number of the days that you lie on it ,
you shall bear their iniquity .
*
For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity ,
according to the number of the days ,
three hundred and ninety days ;
so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel .
*
And when you have completed them ,
lie again on your right side ;
then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days .
I have laid on you a day for each year .
* "
Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem ;
your arm shall be uncovered ,
and you shall prophesy against it .
*
And surely I will restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege .
* "
Also take for yourself wheat ,
barley ,
beans ,
lentils ,
millet ,
and spelt ;
put them into one vessel ,
and make bread of them for yourself .
During the number of days that you lie on your side ,
three hundred and ninety days ,
you shall eat it .
*
And your food which you eat shall be by weight ,
twenty shekels a day ;
from time to time you shall eat it .
*
You shall also drink water by measure ,
one-sixth of a hin ;
from time to time you shall drink .
*
And you shall eat it as barley cakes ;
and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight ."
*
Then the LORD said , "
So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles ,
where I will drive them ."
