Ezekiel 4:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 “Then you are to lie down on your left side and put the wrongdoing of the house of Israel on it; you shall (A)bear their wrongdoing for the number of days that you lie on it. 5 For I have assigned you a number of days corresponding to the years of their wrongdoing, 390 days; so (B)you shall bear the wrongdoing of the house of Israel. 6 When you have completed these days, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the wrongdoing of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for (C)each year. 7 Then you shall direct your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and (D)prophesy against it. 8 Now behold, I will (E)put ropes [a]around you so that you cannot turn from your one side to your other until you have completed the days of your siege.

Revised Standard Version
4 “Then lie upon your left side, and I will lay the punishment of the house of Israel upon you;[a] for the number of the days that you lie upon it, you shall bear their punishment. 5 For I assign to you a number of days, three hundred and ninety days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment; so long shall you bear 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 bear the punishment of the house of Judah; forty days I assign you, a day for each year. 7 And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm bared; and you shall prophesy against the city. 8 And behold, I will put cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed the days of your siege.
