Ezekiel 4:1-5

Rotherham(i) 1 Thou, therefore, O son of man, Take thee a tile, and lay it before thee,––and portray thereon a city, even Jerusalem. 2 Then shalt thou lay siege against it, And build up against it a siege–wall, And cast up against it, a mound,––And set against it camps, And place against it battering–rams, round about. 3 Thou, therefore, take thee a pan of iron, and set it for a wall of iron, between thee and the city,––then shalt thou direct thy face against it, and it shall come into siege, and thou shalt lay siege to it, a sign, shall it be, to the house of Israel. 4 Thou, therefore, lie thou on thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel, upon it,––during the number of the days which thou shalt lie thereon, shalt thou bear their punishment. 5 I, therefore, have appointed thee the years of their punishment, by the number of days, a hundred and ninety days,––so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
