Ezekiel 4:2-8

2Then layH5414 siegeH4692 against itH5921: ConstructH1129 a siege wallH1785, buildH8210 a rampH5550 to itH5921, set upH5414 campsH4264 against itH5921, and placeH7760 battering ramsH3733 around itH5921 on all sidesH5439. 3ThenH859 takeH3947 an ironH1270 plateH4227 and set it upH5414 as an ironH1270 wallH7023 between yourselfH996 and the cityH5892. TurnH3559 your faceH6440 toward itH413 so that it isH1961 under siegeH4692, and besiege itH6696H5921. ThisH1931 will be a signH226 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

4ThenH859 lie downH7901 onH5921 your leftH8042 sideH6654 and placeH7760 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 upon yourselfH5921. You are to bearH5375 their iniquityH5771 for the numberH4557 of daysH3117 you lie on your sideH7901H5921. 5For IH589 have assignedH5414 to you 390H7969H3967H8673 daysH3117, according to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of their iniquityH5771. So you shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

6When you have completedH3615 these daysH428, lie downH7901 againH8145, but onH5921 your rightH3227 sideH6654, and bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. I have assignedH5414 to you 40H705 daysH3117, a dayH3117 for each yearH8141. 7You must turnH3559 your faceH6440 towardH413 the siegeH4692 of JerusalemH3389 with your armH2220 baredH2834, and prophesyH5012 against itH5921.

8Now beholdH2009, I will tie you upH5414 with ropesH5688H5921 so you cannotH3808 turnH2015 from sideH6654 toH413 sideH6654 untilH5704 you have finishedH3615 the daysH3117 of your siegeH4692.
