The Sign of Imminent Exile
Ezekiel 12:1-16
1
the LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.
3
Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4
You shall bring out your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving; and you shall go out yourself at even in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
5
Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way.
6
In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark; you shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land: for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.
7
I did so as I was commanded: I brought out my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8
In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9
Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?
10
Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
11
Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.
12
The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go out: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
13
My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Kasdim; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14
I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15
They shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
