7 “Meanwhile continue your demonstration of the siege of Jerusalem; lie there with your arm bared to signify great strength and power in the attack against her.[a] This will prophesy her doom. 8 And I will paralyze you[b] so that you can’t turn over from one side to the other until you have completed all the days of your siege.
9 “During the first 390 days eat bread made of flour mixed from wheat, barley, beans, lentils, and spelt. Mix the various kinds of flour together in a jar.
