Context of Ezekiel 12:10
8In the morning the word of the Lord came to me: 9"Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, 'What are you doing?' Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.' 11Say, 'I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.' 12And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder at dusk, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes.
