Context of Ezekiel 12:15

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.

So they will know that I am Adonai when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the countries. 16But I will let a few of them escape the sword, the famine and the pestilence, so they may tell about all their detestable practices among the nations where they go. And they will know that I am Adonai.” 17The word of Adonai came to me saying:
