And you, lie down on your left side, and you must put[a] the guilt of the house of Israel on it. You will carry their guilt the number of days that you will lie on it. And I will give to you the years of their guilt according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days, and you must bear the guilt[b] of the house of Israel. When you have completed these, then you must lie a second time on your right side; and you must bear the guilt[c] of the house of Judah forty days, a day for each year, a day for each year I give it to you. And toward the siege of Jerusalem you must set your face and your bared arm; then you must prophesy against it. Now[d] look! I will put on you cords, and you may not turn yourself from one side to your other side until you complete the days of your siege.
