CLV(i)
1 `And you, son of man, take to you a brick, and you have put it before you, and have graven on it a city--Jerusalem,
2 and have placed against it a siege, and builded against it a fortification, and poured out against it a mount, and placed against it camps, yea, set you against it battering-rams round about."
3 And you, take to you an iron pan, and you have made it a wall of iron between you and the city; and you have prepared your face against it, and it has been in a siege, yea, you have laid siege against it. A sign it [is] to the house of Israel."
4 `And you, lie on your left side, and you have placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that you lie on it, you bear their iniquity."
5 And I--I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and you have borne the iniquity of the house of Israel."
6 And you have completed these, and have lain on your right side, a second time, and have borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days--a day for a year--a day for a year I have appointed to you."
7 `And unto the siege of Jerusalem you do prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning it."
8 And lo, I have put on you thick bands, and you do not turn from side to side till your completing the days of your siege."
