Ezekiel 4:7-9
New English Translation

7 You must turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared and prophesy against it. 8 Look here: I will tie you up with ropes, so you cannot turn from one side to the other until you complete the days of your siege.[a]

9 “As for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt,[b] put them in a single container, and make food[c] from them for yourself. For the same number of days that you lie on your side—390 days[d]—you will eat it.
