7. Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and your arm shall be uncovered [ready for battle], and you shall prophesy against [the city].
8. And, behold, I will lay bands upon you and you shall not turn yourself from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege.
9. Also take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them into one vessel and make bread of them. According to the number of the days that you shall lie upon your side, 390 days you shall eat of it.
10. And the food you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels or a full half pound a day, to be eaten at a fixed time each day.
11. You shall drink water by measure also, about one quart or the sixth part of a hin; you shall drink at a fixed time each day.
12. And you shall eat your food as barley cakes and you shall bake it with human dung as fuel in the sight of the people.
13. And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to whom I will drive them. [Hos. 9:3.]
14. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I have never defiled myself. From my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself or is torn in pieces; neither did there ever come abominable flesh into my mouth. [Acts 10:14.]
15. Then He said to me, Behold, I will let you use cow's dung instead of human dung, and you shall prepare your food with it.
