Thou also, son{H1121} of man{H120}, take{H3947}{(H8798)} thee a tile{H3843}, and lay{H5414}{(H8804)} it before{H6440} thee, and pourtray{H2710}{(H8804)} upon it the city{H5892}, even Jerusalem{H3389}:

And lay{H5414}{(H8804)} siege{H4692} against it, and build{H1129}{(H8804)} a fort{H1785} against it, and cast{H8210}{(H8804)} a mount{H5550} against it; set{H5414}{(H8804)} the camp{H4264} also against it, and set{H7760}{(H8798)} battering rams{H3733} against it round about{H5439}.

Moreover take{H3947}{(H8798)} thou unto thee an iron{H1270} pan{H4227}, and set{H5414}{(H8804)} it for a wall{H7023} of iron{H1270} between thee and the city{H5892}: and set{H3559}{(H8689)} thy face{H6440} against it, and it shall be besieged{H4692}, and thou shalt lay siege{H6696}{(H8804)} against it. This shall be a sign{H226} to the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}.

Lie{H7901}{(H8798)} thou also upon thy left{H8042} side{H6654}, and lay{H7760}{(H8804)} the iniquity{H5771} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} upon it: according to the number{H4557} of the days{H3117} that thou shalt lie{H7901}{(H8799)} upon it thou shalt bear{H5375}{(H8799)} their iniquity{H5771}.

For I have laid{H5414}{(H8804)} upon thee the years{H8141} of their iniquity{H5771}, according to the number{H4557} of the days{H3117}, three{H7969} hundred{H3967} and ninety{H8673} days{H3117}: so shalt thou bear{H5375}{(H8804)} the iniquity{H5771} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}.

And when thou hast accomplished{H3615}{(H8765)} them{H428}, lie{H7901}{(H8804)} again{H8145} on thy right{H3233}{(H8675)}{H3227} side{H6654}, and thou shalt bear{H5375}{(H8804)} the iniquity{H5771} of the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063} forty{H705} days{H3117}: I have appointed{H5414}{(H8804)} thee each day{H3117}{H3117} for a year{H8141}{H8141}.

Therefore thou shalt set{H3559}{(H8686)} thy face{H6440} toward the siege{H4692} of Jerusalem{H3389}, and thine arm{H2220} shall be uncovered{H2834}{(H8803)}, and thou shalt prophesy{H5012}{(H8738)} against it.

And, behold, I will lay{H5414}{(H8804)} bands{H5688} upon thee, and thou shalt not turn{H2015}{(H8735)} thee from one side{H6654} to another{H6654}, till thou hast ended{H3615}{(H8763)} the days{H3117} of thy siege{H4692}.

Take{H3947}{(H8798)} thou also unto thee wheat{H2406}, and barley{H8184}, and beans{H6321}, and lentiles{H5742}, and millet{H1764}, and fitches{H3698}, and put{H5414}{(H8804)} them in one{H259} vessel{H3627}, and make{H6213}{(H8804)} thee bread{H3899} thereof, according to the number{H4557} of the days{H3117} that thou shalt lie{H7901}{(H8802)} upon thy side{H6654}, three{H7969} hundred{H3967} and ninety{H8673} days{H3117} shalt thou eat{H398}{(H8799)} thereof.

And thy meat{H3978} which thou shalt eat{H398}{(H8799)} shall be by weight{H4946}, twenty{H6242} shekels{H8255} a day{H3117}: from time{H6256} to time{H6256} shalt thou eat{H398}{(H8799)} it.

Thou shalt drink{H8354}{(H8799)} also water{H4325} by measure{H4884}, the sixth part{H8345} of an hin{H1969}: from time{H6256} to time{H6256} shalt thou drink{H8354}{(H8799)}.

And thou shalt eat{H398}{(H8799)} it as barley{H8184} cakes{H5692}, and thou shalt bake{H5746}{(H8799)} it with dung{H1561} that cometh out{H6627} of man{H120}, in their sight{H5869}.

And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Even thus shall the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} eat{H398}{(H8799)} their defiled{H2931} bread{H3899} among the Gentiles{H1471}, whither I will drive{H5080}{(H8686)} them.

Then said{H559}{(H8799)} I, Ah{H162} Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}! behold, my soul{H5315} hath not been polluted{H2930}{(H8794)}: for from my youth{H5271} up even till now have I not eaten{H398}{(H8804)} of that which dieth of itself{H5038}, or is torn in pieces{H2966}; neither came{H935}{(H8804)} there abominable{H6292} flesh{H1320} into my mouth{H6310}.

Then he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, Lo{H7200}{(H8798)}, I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} thee cow's{H1241} dung{H6832}{(H8675)}{H6832} for man's{H120} dung{H1561}, and thou shalt prepare{H6213}{(H8804)} thy bread{H3899} therewith.

Moreover he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, Son{H1121} of man{H120}, behold, I will break{H7665}{(H8799)} the staff{H4294} of bread{H3899} in Jerusalem{H3389}: and they shall eat{H398}{(H8804)} bread{H3899} by weight{H4948}, and with care{H1674}; and they shall drink{H8354}{(H8799)} water{H4325} by measure{H4884}, and with astonishment{H8078}:

That they may want{H2637}{(H8799)} bread{H3899} and water{H4325}, and be astonied{H8074}{(H8738)} one{H376} with another{H251}, and consume away{H4743}{(H8738)} for their iniquity{H5771}.
