Context of Ezekiel 12:11

9“Son of man, has the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’ 10Say to them, ‘Thus says Adonai Elohim: this burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel there.’ Say, ‘I am a sign for you. Just as I have done, so it will be done to them—they will go into exile, into captivity. 12The prince who is among them will bear a burden on his shoulder, and go out in the darkness. They will dig through the wall to get out; he will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes. 13I will spread out My net upon him, so he will be caught in My net. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans. He will not see it, though he will die there.
