Ezekiel 4:4-8
English Standard Version
4 “Then lie on your left side, and place the punishment[a] of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you lie on it, (A)you shall bear their punishment. 5 For I assign to you a number of days, (B)390 days, (C)equal to the number of the years of their punishment. (D)So long shall you bear (E)the punishment of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and (F)bear (G)the punishment of the house of Judah. (H)Forty days I assign you, a day for each year. 7 (I)And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, (J)with your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against the city. 8 And behold, (K)I will place cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed (L)the days of your siege.

4 “Now as for you, you are to sleep[a] on your left side, symbolically[b] bearing the punishment[c] of the house of Israel while you’re counting the days you’ll be sleeping on your left side[d] to bear symbolically[e] the punishment for[f] their sin. 5 I’ve assigned you to sleep this way for 390 days, representing the years they’ve been sinning,[g] as you bear symbolically[h] the punishment of the house of Israel. 6 When you have completed this, you are to sleep[i] on your right side, symbolically[j] bearing the iniquity of Judah for 40 days. Each day that I’ve assigned to you represents one year. 7 After this, you are to turn toward the rampart of Jerusalem and oppose[k] it with your bare arms, because I’m going to prophesy about it. 8 Look! I’ll tie you up[l] so that you’re unable to turn from one side to the other until you’ve completed your siege.”
