English Standard Version Anglicised

The Siege of Jerusalem Symbolized

4 “And you, ^(A)son of man, ^(B)take a brick and lay it before you, and engrave on it a city, even Jerusalem. ^2 (C)And put siege works against it, ^(D)and build a siege wall against it, ^(E)and cast up a mound against it. Set camps also against it, ^(F)and plant battering rams against it all round. ³ And you, take an iron griddle, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; ^(G)and set your face towards it, ^(H)and let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is ^(I)a sign for the house of Israel.
