Ezekiel 12:8-16

8And in the morningH1242 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 9“SonH1121 of manH120, hasn’tH3808 the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 askedH559 youH413, ‘WhatH4100 are youH859 doingH6213?’ 10TellH559 themH413 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘ThisH2088 burdenH4853 concerns the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 areH1992 thereH8432.’

11You are to sayH559, ‘IH589 am a sign to youH4159.’ Just asH834 it happened hereH6213,1 soH3651 will it be doneH6213 to them; they will goH1980 into exileH1473 as captivesH7628. 12And at duskH5939 the princeH5387 among themH8432 will liftH5375 his bags toH413 his shoulderH3802 and go outH3318. They will digH2864 through the wallH7023 to bring him outH3318. He will coverH3680 his faceH6440 soH3282 heH1931 cannotH3808 seeH7200 the landH776. 13But I will spreadH6566 My netH7568 over himH5921, and he will be caughtH8610 in My snareH4686. I will bringH935 himH853 to BabylonH894, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet he will notH3808 see itH7200, and thereH8033 he will dieH4191.

14And I will scatterH2219 to everyH3605 windH7307 allH3605 the attendantsH5828 around himH834H5439 and allH3605 his troopsH102, and I will drawH7324 a swordH2719 to chase after themH310. 15And they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068, when I disperseH6327 themH853 among the nationsH1471 and scatterH2219 themH853 throughout the countriesH776.

16But I will spareH3498 a fewH4557 of themH582 from swordH2719 and famineH7458 and plagueH1698, so thatH4616 in the nationsH1471 to whichH834 they goH935, they can recountH5608 allH3605 their abominationsH8441H8033. Then they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068.”

Notes

  1. 1. Ezekiel 12:11 Literally ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as I have done; some translators close the quotation at the end of the verse. ↩
