4:7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thy {d} arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
(d) In token of a speedy vengeance.
4:7 Set - While thou liest on thy side thou shalt fix thy countenance on the portrait of besieged Jerusalem. Uncovered - Naked and stretched out as being ready to strike.
4:1-8 The prophet was to represent the siege of Jerusalem by signs. He was to lie on his left side for a number of days, supposed to be equal to the years from the establishment of idolatry. All that the prophet sets before the children of his people, about the destruction of Jerusalem, is to show that sin is the provoking cause of the ruin of that once flourishing city.
