エルサレム包囲の象徴
4 人の子よ、大きな一枚の粘土板を置いて、その上にエルサレムの町の地図を描きなさい。 2 町を攻撃するために築かれるとりで、町を包囲する敵軍の陣営、さらに城壁の回りに破城槌（城門を突破する兵器）を描きなさい。 3 また、あなたと町との間に、鉄の壁のように一枚の鉄板を立てなさい。こうして、敵軍がどのようにエルサレムを攻略するかを表現して見せるのだ。わたしが命じた一つ一つのことには、それぞれ特別の意味がある。というのは、それはイスラエルの民に対する警告だからだ。
4-5 三百九十日間、左わきを下にして横になりなさい。それは、捕囚と破滅によって三百九十年間、イスラエルが罰せられることを示すためだ。その一日は、イスラエルにやがて訪れる一年間の罰を表している。 6 次に、ユダに対する罰の期間を示すために四十日間、今度は右わきを下にして横になりなさい。やはり一日は一年に相当する。 7 その間も、エルサレムの包囲の様子を実演して見せるのだ。その包囲と攻撃がどんなに強烈なものかを教えるために、腕をまくって横になりなさい。これはエルサレム滅亡の預言だ。 8 わたしがあなたの体を動けなくさせるので、あなたは包囲の全期間が終わるまで寝返りさえ打てない。
9 初めの三百九十日間は、小麦、大麦、そら豆、レンズ豆、あわ、裸麦の粉をつぼに入れて混ぜ合わせ、その粉でパンを作って食べなさい。 10 一日に一食、一回二十シェケル（二百三十グラム）ずつに分けて食べるのだ。 11 水は一日に六分の一ヒン（一ヒンは三・八リットル）だけ飲んでよいが、それ以上飲んではならない。 12 毎日、たるから粉を取り出し、大麦のパン菓子を作りなさい。みんなの見ている前で、乾いた人糞の火の上で焼いて、そのパンを食べなさい。 13 わたしの命令だ。イスラエルは捕囚となる異国の地で、汚れたパンを食べるのだ。」
14 「おお神よ。私は人糞で身を汚さなければならないのでしょうか。今まで、一度も身を汚したことがありません。子どもの時から今まで、病気で死んだ動物や、野獣に殺された動物を食べたことはありません。また、律法が禁じている獣を食べたこともありません。」
15 すると、主は答えました。「それなら、人糞の代わりに牛の糞でもよい。」 16 主はこう言って、さらにことばを続けました。「人の子よ。エルサレムではパンの配給が乏しくなる。注意深く量り、こわごわ食べることになるだろう。水も少量しか分け与えられず、人々は不安のうちにそれを飲むようになる。 17 わたしは人々を乏しくさせる。また、異常な恐怖心を抱いて互いを見るようにし、罰によって疲れはてさせる。

Siege of Jerusalem Symbolized
4 “Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. 2 Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp(A) up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.(B) 3 Then take an iron pan,(C) place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward(D) it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign(E) to the people of Israel.(F)
4 “Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.[a] You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side. 5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel.
6 “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin(G) of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.(H) 7 Turn your face(I) toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. 8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.(J)
9 “Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt;(K) put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. 10 Weigh out twenty shekels[b](L) of food to eat each day and eat it at set times. 11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin[c] of water and drink it at set times.(M) 12 Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement(N) for fuel.” 13 The Lord said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”(O)
14 Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign Lord!(P) I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead(Q) or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.(R)”
15 “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”
16 He then said to me: “Son of man, I am about to cut off(S) the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,(T) 17 for food and water will be scarce.(U) They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of[d] their sin.(V)

The Siege of Jerusalem Portrayed
4 “You also, son of man, take a clay tablet and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, Jerusalem. 2 (A)Lay siege against it, build a (B)siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around. 3 Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be (C)besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. (D)This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 “Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. 5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; (E)so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year.
7 “Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. 8 (F)And surely I will [a]restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege.
9 “Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. 11 You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.”
13 Then the Lord said, “So (G)shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”
14 So I said, (H)“Ah, Lord God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten (I)what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has (J)abominable[b] flesh ever come into my mouth.”
15 Then He said to me, “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.”
16 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, surely I will cut off the (K)supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall (L)eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall (M)drink water by measure and with dread, 17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and (N)waste away because of their iniquity.
