He said, 9“Son of man, didn’t the rebellious nation of Israel ask you what you were doing? “Tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: This is the divine revelation about the prince from Jerusalem and about all the people of Israel who live there.’ 11“Tell them, ‘I am your warning sign.

People will dig holes in the wall to go through. The prince will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.
