Context of Ezekiel 12:11

9“Son of man, didn’t the rebellious nation of Israel ask you what you were doing? 10“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.’ “Tell them, ‘I am your warning sign. What I have done will happen to you. You will go into exile and into captivity. 12The prince who is among you will put his bags on his shoulders in the dark and leave. People will dig holes in the wall to go through. The prince will cover his face so that he cannot see the land. 13I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my net. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Babylonians, but he will not see it. And that’s where he’ll die.
