“Now you, son of man, take a brick, place it before you and inscribe on it [a diagram of] the city of Jerusalem.

Now behold, I will put ropes on you so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.

But I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold (hear me), I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died on its own or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth.”

Because you push with side and shoulder, and gore with your horns all those that have become weak and sick until you have scattered them away,

So you will eat fat until you are filled and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast which I have prepared for you.

The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel shall cultivate it.
