Context of Ezekiel 12:9

7I did what I was ordered to do. During the day I brought out bags as if I were going into exile. In the evening I dug a hole through the wall. I brought out my bags in the dark. I let the people see me as I carried my bags on my shoulders. 8The next morning the Lord spoke his word to me. He said, “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.’ 11“Tell them, ‘I am your warning sign. What I have done will happen to you. You will go into exile and into captivity.
