                                 DASV: Ezekiel 4     

1 "Now you, son of man, get a brick, and put it in front of you. Inscribe a city on it, Jerusalem.
2 Lay siege against it. Build siege works against it and put up a ramp against it. Set up camps against it, and station battering rams around it.
3 Take an iron griddle, and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city. Focus your face on it, for it will be besieged. You yourself are to lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Then lie on your left side, and place the sins of the house of Israel on yourself. You will bear their sin for as many days as you lie on your side.
5 For I have assigned you the number of days equal to the number of the years of their sin, 390 days. This is how you will bear the sin of the house of Israel.
6 When you have accomplished this, you will lie down on your right side, and you are to bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned to you forty days, one day for each year.
7 Set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and with your arm bared, prophesy against it.

8 Look, I will lash you down with ropes so that you will not be able to turn from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9 Get some wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt; and put them in one container, and make bread from it. During the 390 days that you lie on your side you will eat it.
10 Your food that you will eat will be rationed out eight ounces a day and you shall eat it at the set times. 11 You should drink water by measure, a pint and a half, drink it at the set times.
12 Eat the food as you would barley cakes. You are to bake it on a fire using dried human excrement in their sight."
13 The LORD said, "This is how the Israelites will eat their bread, unclean, among the nations into which I will banish them."
14 Then I said, "Sovereign LORD! Look, I have never been defiled from my youth up even until now. I have never eaten anything that had died by itself, or was torn by animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth."
15 Then he said to me, "Alright, I will let you use cow's manure instead of human excrement on which to prepare your bread."
16 Then he told me, "Son of man, I will break the supply of bread in Jerusalem. They will eat bread by ration and with fear. They will drink water by measure and in terror,
17 because they will lack bread and water. They will look at each other appalled as they waste away because of their punishment."
