Ezekiel 4:2-5

Contemporary English Version

² Then prepare to attack the brick as if it were a real city. Build a dirt mound and a ramp up to the top and surround the brick with enemy camps. On every side put large wooden poles as though you were going to break down the gate to the city. ³ Set up an iron pan like a wall between you and the brick. All this will be a warning for the people of Israel.

^4-5 After that, lie down on your left side and stay there for 390 days as a sign of Israel's punishment^[a]—one day for each year of its suffering.
