Ezekiel 12:7-16

ACV(i) 7 And I did so as I was commanded. I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight. 8 And in the morning the word of LORD came to me, saying, 9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What are thou doing? 10 Say thou to them, Thus says the lord LORD: This burden concerns the ruler in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are. 11 Say, I am your sign. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity. 12 And the ruler who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. They shall dig through the wall to carry out by it. He shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes. 13 I will also spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there. 14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him to help him, and all his groups. And I will draw out the sword after them. 15 And they shall know that I am 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 LORD.
