1“O man, take a tile and lay it in front of you. Draw a city on it, the city of Jerusalem:
2portray it under siege, erect towers against it, raise a siege-ramp, put mantelets in position, and bring up battering-rams on every side.
3Then take a griddle, and put it as if it were an iron wall between you and the city. Keep your eyes fixed on the city; it will be the besieged and you the besieger. This will be a sign to the Israelites.
4“Next, lie on your left side, putting the weight of Israel's punishment on it; for as many days as you lie on that side you will be bearing their punishment.
5I ordain that you bear Israel's punishment for three hundred and ninety days, allowing one day for each year of their punishment.
6When you have completed these days, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear Judah's punishment; I ordain for you forty days, one day for each year.
7Then fix your gaze towards the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against it.
8See how I tie you with ropes so that you cannot turn over from one side to the other until you complete your days of siege.
9“Take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and vetches, and mixing them all in one bowl make your bread from them. You are to eat it during the three hundred and ninety days you spend lying on your side.
10Twenty shekels” weight is your ration for a day, eaten at a set time each day.
11You are to measure out your drinking water; you may drink a sixth of a hin at a set time each day.
12The bread you are to eat is to be baked like barley cakes, with human dung as fuel, and you must bake it where people can see you.'
13The LORD said, “This is the unclean bread that the Israelites will eat among the peoples where I shall banish them.”
14I protested: “Lord GOD, I have never been made unclean. Never in my whole life have I eaten what has died a natural death or been mauled by wild beasts; no tainted meat has ever passed my lips.”
15He answered, “Very well; I shall allow you to use cow dung instead of human dung to bake your bread.”
16He then said, “O man, I am cutting short their daily bread in Jerusalem; people will weigh out anxiously the bread they eat, and measure with dismay the water they drink.
17So their food and their water will run short until dismay spreads from one to another and they waste away because of their iniquity.
