And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 4 of Ezekiel. Ezekiel symbolically represents the siege of Jerusalem. Lying on his sides and symbolically bearing the guilt of Israel and Judah turns his own body into a prophetic instrument. Prophecy is not limited to words: the messenger’s life becomes a representation of the judgment that is approaching.

Und sieh, ich will dir Stricke anlegen, daß du dich nicht wenden könnest von einer Seite zur andern, bis du die Tage deiner Belagerung vollendet hast.
Y he aquí he puesto sobre ti cuerdas, y no te tornarás del un tu lado al otro lado, hasta que hayas cumplido los días de tu cerco.
Voy a ponerte cuerdas, para que no te vuelvas de un lado al otro hasta que cumplas los días de tu asedio.
Et voici, je mettrai des cordes sur toi, afin que tu ne puisses pas te tourner d'un côté sur l'autre, jusqu'à ce que tu aies accompli les jours de ton siège.
Ed ecco, io ti metto delle funi addosso, e tu non potrai voltarti da un lato in su l’altro, finchè tu non abbi compiuti i giorni del tuo assedio
E eis que porei sobre ti cordas; assim tu não te voltarás de um lado para o outro, até que cumpras os dias do teu cerco.
看哪,我用繩索捆綁你,使你不能從這邊翻到那邊,直等到你圍困的日子結束。
