10 »Tell them: This is what the Lord Jehovah says: ‘This is the divine revelation about the prince from Jerusalem and about all the people of Israel who live there.’«
11 »Tell them: ‘I am your warning sign. What I have done will happen to you. You will go into exile and into captivity.
12 ‘»The prince who is among you will put his bags on his shoulders in the dark and leave. People will dig holes in the wall to go through. The prince will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.’«

16 »I will spare a few of them from the sword, the famine and the pestilence that they may tell all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am Jehovah.«

20 ‘»The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am Jehovah.«’
21 Then the word of Jehovah came to me:
22 »Son of man, what is this proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel. You say: ‘The days are long and every vision fails?’
