Ezekiel 12:1-7

Rotherham(i) 1 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying: 2 Son of man, In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou, dwell,––Who have eyes, to see––and have not seen, Ears, have they to hear––and have no heard, For, a perverse house, they are. 3 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exile, and exile thyself, by day, before their eyes,––so shalt thou exile thyself out of thy place unto another place, before their eyes, peradventure, they will consider,––though, a perverse house, they are. 4 Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage, as baggage for exile, by day before their eyes,––and, thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to exile. 5 Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall,––and carry forth through it. 6 Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it, In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover, so that thou see not the land; For, a sign, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel. 7 And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile, by day, and, in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth––on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.
