6. And when you have fulfilled the days for Israel, lie again, but on your right [and south] side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have appointed you one day for each year.
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.]
