Ezekiel 4:4-8
International Standard Version
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.”

Ezekiel 4:4-8
New International Version
4 “Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.[a] You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side. 5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel.
6 “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin(A) of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.(B) 7 Turn your face(C) toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. 8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.(D)
