Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem:
2 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.
3 Moreover take you to you an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it will be besieged, and you will lay siege against it. This [will be] a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Lie you also upon your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that you will lie upon it you will bear their iniquity.
5 For I have laid upon you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so will you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 And when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you will bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
7 Therefore you will set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm [will be] uncovered, and you will prophesy against it.
8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon you, and you will not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.
9 Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread of it, [according] to the number of the days that you will lie upon your side, three hundred and ninety days will you eat of it.
10 And your meat which you will eat [will be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time will you eat it.
11 You will drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time will you drink.
12 And you will eat it [as] barley cakes, and you will bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.
13 And the LORD [Yahweh] said, Even thus will the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.
14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you will prepare your bread with it.
16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they will eat bread by weight, and with care; and they will drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
