4 “But you, son of man, take for yourself a brick, and you shall put it before you. Then, you shall inscribe on it a city, Jerusalem. 2 Then, you shall place a siege against it, and you shall build a siege wall against it, and you shall pour out a mound against it. And you shall place camps against it, and you shall put battering rams against it, all around. 3 But you—take for yourself a griddle of iron, and you shall put it, as a wall of iron, between you and between the city. Then you shall make firm your face to it, and it will be in the siege, and you shall lay siege against it. A sign is this for the house of Israel.

4 But you—lie on your left side, and you shall put the iniquity of the house of Israel on it. For the number of days that you shall lie on it, you will carry their iniquity. 5 And I myself will give to you the years of their iniquity, as the number of days: 390 days. And you shall carry the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 And when you have completed these days, then you shall lie on your right side a second time, and you shall carry the iniquity of the house of Judah: Forty days—a day for a year, a day for a year, I give to you. 7 And to the siege of Jerusalem, you shall make firm your face, and your arm bared. And you shall prophesy against it. 8 And look!—I am putting on you ropes, and you will not turn from your side to your side until you have completed the days of your siege.

9 But you—take for yourself wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and rye, and you shall put them in one vessel, and you shall make them for yourself into bread, for the number of the days that you are lying on your side—390 days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food that you will eat, shall be, by weight, twenty shekels per day. From time to time, you shall eat it. 11 And water—by measure, you shall drink a sixth of a hin. From time to time, you shall drink. 12 And a cake of barley, you shall eat it. But it—in the dung of the excrement of man, you shall bake it to their eyes.” 13 And Yahweh said, “Like thus, the sons of Israel will eat their unclean bread among the nations that I will banish them there.”

14 But I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! My life has not been made unclean, and carcass or carrion I have not eaten, from my youth until now, and meat of defilement has not entered into my mouth!”

15 And he said to me, “Look—I am giving to you the droppings of cattle instead of the excrement of man. And you shall make your bread over them.”

16 And he said to me, “Son of man—look at me, breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety; and water, by measure and in horror, they will drink, 17 because they will lack bread and water. A man and his brother will be dismayed, and they will rot in their iniquity.”
