On the Athanasian Creed #165
165. What it is to carry iniquities: - 1. It is to sustain all the hells, by temptations; 2. So that in Him might be represented the state of the Church, as in the case of the prophet 1 who was to take a harlot to wife, [the prophet] 2 who was to go naked and barefoot, [the prophet] 3 who was to eat a cake made from dung, and was to lie on the right side and the left, and carry iniquities. So it was with the Lord in the particulars of His passion.

Ezekiel 4:1-2
1
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even 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.
