When thou hast fulfilled these days, lie down again, and sleep upon thy right side forty days, and bear the sins of the house of Judah. A day for a year; a day, I say, for a year will I ever lay upon thee. Therefore set now thy face against that besieged Jerusalem, and discover thine arm, that thou mayest prophesy against it.
