4And you, lie on your left side, and place the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it; for the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

5And I have assigned to you the years of their iniquity according to the number of days, three hundred and ninety days, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6When you have finished these, you shall lie down a second time on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah for forty days. I have assigned you a day for each year.

7And toward the siege of Jerusalem you shall set your face, with your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against it.

8And behold, I have put ropes on you, and you will not turn yourself from your side to your other side until you have completed the days of your siege.
