Ezekiel 12:3-16

3Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prepareH6213 for yourself baggageH3627 for exileH1473 and goH1540 into exileH1540 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869; even goH1540 into exileH1540 from your placeH4725 to anotherH312 placeH4725 in their sightH5869. 1PerhapsH194 they will 2understandH7200 thoughH3588 they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. 4BringH3318 your baggageH3627 out by dayH3119 in their sightH5869, as baggageH3627 for exileH1473. Then you will goH3318 out 3at eveningH6153 in their sightH5869, as those goingH4161 into exileH1473. 5DigH2864 a hole through the wallH7023 in their sightH5869 and 4goH3318 out through it. 6LoadH5375 the baggage on your shoulderH3802 in their sightH5869 and carryH3318 it out in the darkH5939. You shall 5coverH3680 your faceH6440 so that you cannotH3808 seeH7200 the landH776, for I have setH5414 you as a 6signH4159 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.”

7I 7didH6213 soH3651, as I had been commandedH6680. By dayH3119 I 8broughtH3318 out my baggageH3627 like the baggageH3627 of an exileH1473. Then in the eveningH6153 I dugH2864 through the wallH7023 with my handsH3027; I wentH3318 out in the darkH5939 and carriedH5375 the baggage on my shoulderH3802 in their sightH5869.

8In the morningH1242 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“SonH1121 of manH120, has not the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, the 9rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, saidH559 to you, ‘10WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?’ 10SayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 11GodH3068, “ThisH2088 1213burdenH4853 concerns the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389 as well as allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 are 14in it.”’ 11SayH559, ‘I am 15a 16signH4159 to you. As I have doneH6213, soH3651 it will be doneH6213 to them; they will 17goH1980 into exileH1473, into captivityH7628.’ 12The 18princeH5387 whoH834 is amongH8432 them will loadH5375 his baggage on his shoulderH3802 in the darkH5939 and goH3318 out. 19They will digH2864 a hole through the wallH7023 to bringH3318 it out. He will coverH3680 his faceH6440 soH3282H834 that he can not seeH7200 the landH776 with his eyesH5869. 13I will also spreadH6566 My 20netH7568 overH5921 him, and he will be caughtH8610 in My snareH4686. And I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet he will 21not seeH7200 it, though he will dieH4191 thereH8033. 14I will 22scatterH2219 to everyH3605 windH7307 allH3605 whoH834 are aroundH5439 him, his helpersH5828 and allH3605 his troopsH102; and I will drawH7385 out a swordH2719 afterH310 them. 15So they will 23knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 when I scatterH6327 them among the nationsH1471 and spreadH2219 them among the countriesH776. 16But I will 24spareH3498 a fewH4557 of them from the 25swordH2719, the famineH7458 and the pestilenceH1698 that they may tellH5608 allH3605 their abominationsH8441 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 they goH935, and 26may 27knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
