Ezekiel 4:5-7

Living Bible

^4-5 “Now lie on your left side for 390 days,^[a] to show that Israel will be punished for 390 years by captivity and doom. Each day you lie there represents a year of punishment ahead for Israel. ⁶ Afterwards, turn over and lie on your right side for forty days, to signify the years of Judah’s punishment. Each day will represent one year.

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.^[b] This will prophesy her doom.
