Ezekiel 12:6-11

6While they are watching, raise your baggage onto your shoulder and carry it out in the dark. You must cover your face so that you cannot see the ground because I have made you an object lesson to the house of Israel.”

7So I did just as I was commanded. I carried out my belongings packed for exile during the day, and at evening I dug myself a hole through the wall with my hands. I went out in the darkness, carrying my baggage on my shoulder while they watched.

8The word of the Lord came to me in the morning:

9“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’

10Say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: The prince will raise this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel within it.’

11Say, ‘I am an object lesson for you. Just as I have done, it will be done to them; they will go into exile and captivity.’
