Ezekiel 12:3-9

3So as for you, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile and go into exile by day in their sight; that is, go into exile from your place to another place in their sight. 1Perhaps they will 2understand, though they are a rebellious house. 4Bring your baggage out by day in their sight, as baggage for exile. Then you shall go out 3at evening in their sight, as those who are going into exile. 5Dig a hole through the wall in their sight and 4go out through it. 6Load the baggage on your shoulder in their sight and carry it out in the dark. You shall 5cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have set you as a 6sign to the house of Israel.”

7Then I 7did so, just as I had been commanded. By day I 8brought out my baggage like the baggage of an exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands; I went out in the dark and carried the baggage on my shoulder in their sight.

8And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9“Son of man, has the house of Israel, the 9rebellious house, not said to you, ‘10What are you doing?’
