Ezekiel 12:10-16

10Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: This pronouncement concerns the prince in Jerusalem and the whole house of Israel living there.’

11You are to say, ‘I am a sign for you. Just as I have done, it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.’

12The prince who is among them will lift his bags to his shoulder in the dark and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land with his eyes.

13But I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he will not see it, and he will die there.

14I will also scatter all the attendants who surround him and all his troops to every direction of the wind, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.

15They will know that I am the Lord when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries.

16But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine, and plague, so that among the nations where they go they can tell about all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
