Ezekiel 4:4-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ And you, lie down on your left side, and place the guilt of the house of Israel on it. For as many days as you lie on your side, you shall bear their guilt. ⁵ I will assign to you the number of days you are to lie on your side on the basis of the number of years of their guilt: three hundred ninety days. So you shall bear the guilt of the house of Israel. ⁶ When you have finished these days, you shall lie down a second time on your right side, and you shall bear the guilt of the house of Judah for forty days. I have assigned to you one day for each year. ⁷ You shall direct your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against it. ⁸ See, I have placed ropes upon you, so that you will not turn from your one side to your other side until you finish the days of your siege.
