Listen up, maggots! This here is God talking: Ezekiel, you’re gonna be a living symbol. Take a brick and draw a city on it. Then make a wall out of bricks and surround the city. Get yourself a model of a siege and build it up against the city. Take a pan and set it between you and the city - a symbol of the siege. Then lay down on your side and bear the weight of the sins of the city. You’re gonna do this for 390 days, and then turn over and do it for 40 more. Make sure you don’t eat bread made with wheat, barley, beans, lentils, or millet. Instead, you’ll eat food cooked over cow dung. That’s right - cow dung. And don’t forget - you’ve got to do this for 430 days. Got it?
