Ezekiel 4:2-4

Expanded Bible

² Then ·surround it with an army [lay a siege against it]. Build ·battle [siege] works against the city and a ·dirt road to the top of the city walls [siege ramp/mound against it]. Set up camps around it, and put ·heavy logs in place to break down the walls [battering rams all around]. ³ Then get yourself an iron ·plate [pan] and set it up like an iron wall between you and the city. Turn your face toward the city ·as if to attack it [or and it will be under siege] and then ·attack [besiege it]. This is a sign to [^Lthe house of] Israel.

⁴ “Then lie down on your left side, and take the ·guilt [punishment; iniquity] of [^Lthe house of] Israel on yourself. Their ·guilt [punishment; iniquity] will be on you for the number of days you lie on your left side.
