Ezekiel 4:1-5

The Siege of Jerusalem Symbolized

1“And you, ason of man, btake a brick and lay it before you, and engrave on it a city, even Jerusalem. 2 cAnd put siegeworks against it, dand build a siege wall against it, eand cast up a mound against it. Set camps also against it, fand plant battering rams against it all around. 3And you, take an iron griddle, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; gand set your face toward it, hand let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is ia sign for the house of Israel.

4Then lie on your left side, and place the punishment
Or iniquity; also verses 5, 6, 17
of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you lie on it, kyou shall bear their punishment.
5For I assign to you a number of days, l390 days, mequal to the number of the years of their punishment. nSo long shall you bear othe punishment of the house of Israel.
