1 Thou also, son of man, take a tile and lay it before thee and portray upon it the city of Jerusalem
2 and lay siege against it and build a fort against it and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3 And take an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face against it and it shall be for an encompassment, and thou shalt lay siege against the city. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Thou shalt sleep upon thy left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.
