"Then  alayh5414 siegeh4692 againsth5921 it, buildh1129 a siegeh1785 wallh1785,  1raiseh8210 up a ramph5550, pitchh5414 campsh4264 and placeh7760 batteringh3733c ramsh3733c againsth5921 it allh5439 aroundh5439.

"As for you, lieh7901 downh7901 on your lefth8042 sideh6654 and layh7760 the iniquityh5771 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478 on it; you shall  abearh5375 their iniquityh5771 for the numberh4557 of daysh3117 that you lieh7901 on it.

"For I have assignedh5414 you a numberh4557 of daysh3117 corresponding to the yearsh8141 of their iniquityh5771, threeh7969 hundredh3967 and ninetyh8673 daysh3117; thus  ayou shall bearh5375 the iniquityh5771 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478.

"When you have completedh3615 theseh428, you shall lieh7901 downh7901 a secondh8145 timeh8145, but on your righth3233 sideh6654 and bearh5375 the iniquityh5771 of the househ1004 of Judahh3063; I have assignedh5414 it to you for fortyh705 daysh3117, a dayh3117 for  aeach yearh8141.

7

"Then you shall seth3559 your faceh6440 towardh413 the siegeh4692 of Jerusalemh3389 with your armh2220 baredh2834 and  aprophesyh5012 againsth5921 it.

8

"Now beholdh2009, I will  aputh5414 ropesh5688 on you so that you cannoth3808 turnh2015 from one sideh6654 to the otherh6654 untilh5704 you have completedh3615 the daysh3117 of your siegeh4692.

Defiled Bread

9

"But as for you, takeh3947 wheath2406, barleyh8184, beansh6321, lentilsh5742, milleth1764 and  aspelth3698, puth5414 them in oneh259 vesselh3627 and makeh6213a them into breadh3899 for yourself; you shall eath398 it according to the numberh4557 of the daysh3117 that you lieh7901 on your sideh6654, threeh7969 hundredh3967 and ninetyh8673 daysh3117.

10

"Your foodh3978 whichh834 you eath398 shall be  atwentyh6242 shekelsh8255 a dayh3117 by weighth4946; you shall eath398 it from timeh6256 to timeh6256.

11

"The waterh4325 you drinkh8354 shall be the sixthh8345 parth8345 of a hinh1969 by measureh4884; you shall drinkh8354 it from timeh6256 to timeh6256.

12

"You shall eath398 it as a barleyh8184 cakeh5692, having bakedh5746 it in their sighth5869 over humanh120  adungh1561h6627."

13

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559, "Thush3602 will the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 eath398 their breadh3899  auncleanh2931 among the nationsh1471 whereh834h8033 I will banishh5080 them."

14

But I saidh559, " aAhh162, Lordh136  1GODh3068! Beholdh2009, I have  bneverh3808 beenh2930 defiledh2930; for from my youthh5271 untilh5704 nowh6258 I have neverh3808 eatenh398 whath5038  cdiedh5038 of itself or was tornh2966 by beastsh2966, norh3808 has any  duncleanh6292 meath1320 ever enteredh935 my mouthh6310."

15

Then He saidh559 to me, "Seeh7200, I will giveh5414 you cow'sh1241 dungh6832 in placeh8478 of humanh120 dungh1561 overh5921 which you will prepareh6213a your breadh3899."

16

Moreover, He saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120, beholdh2009, I am going to  abreakh7665 the staffh4294 of breadh3899 in Jerusalemh3389, and they will eath398 breadh3899 by  bweighth4948 and with anxietyh1674, and drinkh8354 waterh4325 by  cmeasureh4884 and in horrorh8078,

17

becauseh4616 breadh3899 and waterh4325 will be scarceh2637; and they will be appalledh8074 with oneh376 anotherh251 and  awasteh4743 awayh4743 in their iniquityh5771.
