Ezekiel 4:2-4

International Standard Version

² You are to lay siege against it, build a rampart around it, set a bulwark against it, encircle it with a berm, set up camps against it, and place battering rams around it. ³ Then you are to take a flat, iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city.

“Next, you are to turn toward it, oppose^[a] it, and place it under siege, because you are to lay siege to it. All of this will serve as a sign to the house of Israel.

⁴ “Now as for you, you are to sleep^[b] on your left side, symbolically^[c] bearing the punishment^[d] of the house of Israel while you’re counting the days you’ll be sleeping on your left side^[e] to bear symbolically^[f] the punishment for^[g] their sin.
