Ezekiel 4:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 Then take an iron griddle and place it as though it were an iron wall between you and the city. Keep your gaze fixed upon the city; it will be in a state of siege, and you will be the besieger. This will be a sign for the house of Israel.[a]
4 [b]Then lie on your left side while I place the guilt of the house of Israel upon you. You will bear their guilt for the number of days that you lie on your side. 5 Allowing one day for every year of their guilt, I ordain that you bear Israel’s punishment for three hundred and ninety days.
