Ezekiel 4:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Portray it under siege, erect towers against it, pitch camps, and set up battering rams all around it. 3 Then take an iron griddle and place it as though it were an iron wall between you and the city. Keep your gaze fixed upon the city; it will be in a state of siege, and you will be the besieger. This will be a sign for the house of Israel.[a]
4 [b]Then lie on your left side while I place the guilt of the house of Israel upon you. You will bear their guilt for the number of days that you lie on your side.
