Ezekiel 12:8-16

8And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9“Son of man, has the house of Israel, the 1rebellious house, not said to you, ‘2What are you doing?’ 10Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord 3God says: “This 4pronouncement concerns the prince in Jerusalem as well as all the house of Israel who are 5in it.”’ 11Say, ‘I am 6a 7sign to you. Just as I have done, so it will be done to them; they will 8go into exile, into captivity.’ 12The 9prince who is among them will load his baggage on his shoulder in the dark and go out. 10They will dig a hole through the wall to bring it out through it. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes. 13I will also spread My 11net over him, and he will be caught in My net. And I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will 12not see it, though he will die there. 14And I will 13scatter to every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops; and I will draw out a sword after them. 15So they will 14know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries. 16But I will 15spare a few of them from the 16sword, the famine, and plague so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations where they go, and 17may 18know that I am the Lord.”
