Context of Ezekiel 12:14

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. I will scatter in every direction all those who are around him—his staff and all his troops. I will pursue them with my sword. 15Then they will know that I am the Lord, because I will scatter them among the nations and force them into other countries. 16However, I will spare a few of them from wars, famines, and plagues. Wherever they go among the nations, they will realize that everything they did was disgusting. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’ ”
