Ezekiel 12:1-16

1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 also cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559,

2SonH1121 of manH120, thou dwellest in the midstH8432 of the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, whichH834 have eyesH5869 to seeH7200, and seeH7200 notH3808, whichH834 have earsH241 to hearH8085, and hearH8085 notH3808; for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.

3Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prepareH6213 thee stuff for removing, and removeH1540 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869; and thou shalt removeH1540 from thy placeH4725 to anotherH312 placeH4725 in their sightH5869: it may be they will considerH7200, thoughH3588 they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.

4And thou shalt bringH3318 forthH3318 thy stuff by dayH3119 in their sightH5869, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt goH3318 forthH3318 thyself at even in their sightH5869, as when men goH3318 forthH3318 intoH3318 exileH1473.

5DigH2864 thou throughH3318 the wallH7023 in their sightH5869, and carryH3318 outH3318 thereby.

6In their sightH5869 shalt thou bearH5375 it uponH5921 thy shoulderH3802, and carryH5375 it forthH3318 in the darkH5939; thou shalt coverH3680 thy faceH6440, that thou seeH7200 notH3808 the groundH776: for I have setH5414 thee for a signH4159 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

7And I didH6213 soH3651 as I was commandedH6680: I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my stuff by dayH3119, as stuff for removing, and in the evenH3651 I digged throughH3027 the wallH7023 with mine handH3027; I broughtH3318 it forthH3318 in the darkH5939, and bare it uponH5921 my shoulderH3802 in their sightH5869.

8And in the morningH1242 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto meH413, sayingH559,

9SonH1121 of manH120, hath notH3808 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, saidH559 unto thee, WhatH4100 doest thou?

10SayH559 thou unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: This burdenH4853 concerneth the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389, and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among whomH834 they are.

11SayH559, I am your signH4159: like as I have doneH6213, soH3651 shall it be doneH6213 unto them: they shall go into exileH1473, into captivityH7628.

12And the princeH5387 that is among them shall bearH5375 uponH413 his shoulderH3802 in the darkH5939, and shall goH3318 forthH3318: they shall digH2864 throughH8432 the wallH7023 to carryH5375 outH3318 thereby: he shall coverH3680 his faceH6440, becauseH3282 he shall notH3808 seeH7200 the groundH776 with his eyesH5869.

13My netH7568 also will I spreadH6566 uponH5921 him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snare: and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 to the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet shall he notH3808 seeH7200 it, though he shall dieH4191 there.

14And I will scatterH2219 toward everyH3605 windH7307 allH3605 that are roundH5439 aboutH5439 him to helpH5828 him, and allH3605 his bands; and I will draw outH3605 the swordH2719 afterH310 them.

15And they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall disperseH2219 them among the nationsH1471, and scatterH2219 them throughH776 the countriesH776.

16But I will leaveH3498 a fewH4557 menH376 of them from the swordH2719, from the famineH7458, and from the pestilenceH1698; that they may declareH5608 allH3605 their abominationsH8441 among the nationsH1471 whither they comeH935; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
