Context of Ezekiel 12:14

12Their king will leave Jerusalem when it starts to become dark. He will carry his things on his shoulder as he goes out. They will dig a hole in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land. 13I will throw my net over him and I will catch him in my trap. I will take him to Babylon city, in the land of the Chaldeans. But he will not see that land. He will die there. I will cause all his officers and soldiers to run away in different directions. Then their enemies will chase after them, to kill them with their swords. 15I will send the people away from their homes to other countries. They will have to live among foreign people. Then they will know that I am the Lord. 16But I will save a few of them. War, famine and disease will not kill all of them. When they live among those other nations, they will realize that they have done many disgusting things. And they will know that I am the Lord.’
