International Standard Version
The Vision of the Brick
4 “And now Son of Man, you are to take a brick,[a] set it in front of you, and inscribe on it the outline of[b] the city—that is, Jerusalem.[c] 2 You are to lay siege against it, build a rampart around it, set a bulwark against it, encircle it with a berm, set up camps against it, and place battering rams around it. 3 Then you are to take a flat, iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city.
“Next, you are to turn toward it, oppose[d] it, and place it under siege, because you are to lay siege to it. All of this will serve as a sign to the house of Israel.
