Ezekiel 4:2-4

Revised Standard Version

² and put siegeworks against it, and build a siege wall against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about. ³ And take an iron plate, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; and set your face toward it, and let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is a sign for the house of Israel.

⁴ “Then lie upon your left side, and I will lay the punishment of the house of Israel upon you;^[a] for the number of the days that you lie upon it, you shall bear their punishment.
