Ezekiel 4:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Then get an iron pan. Put it between you and the city. Pretend it is an iron wall. Turn your face toward the city. It will be under attack when you begin to attack it. That will show the people of Israel what is going to happen to Jerusalem.

⁴ “Next, lie down on your left side. Pretend that you are putting Israel’s sin on yourself. Keep their sin on you for the number of days you lie on your side. ⁵ Let each day you lie there stand for one year of their sin. So you will keep Israel’s sin on you for 390 days.
