Ezekiel, Chapter 12,  verses 3-12

3 Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile and go into exile by day in their sight; even go into exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they willa Or see that they areunderstand though they are a rebellious house. 4 Bring your baggage out by day in their sight, as baggage for exile. Then you will go out at evening in their sight, as those going into exile. 5 Dig a hole through the wall in their sight andb Lit bring it outgo out through it. 6 Load the baggage on your shoulder in their sight and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 I did so, as I had been commanded. By day I brought out my baggage like the baggage of an exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands; I went out in the dark and carried the baggage on my shoulder in their sight.
8 In the morning the word of the LORD 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 Lordc Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the chGOD, “Thisd Or oracleburden concerns the prince in Jerusalem as well as all the house of Israel who aree Lit in their midstin it.”’ 11 Say, ‘I amf Lit your signa sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.’ 12 The prince who is among them will load his baggage on his shoulder in the dark and go out.g I.e. the king’s attendantsThey will dig a hole through the wall to bring it out. He will cover his face so that he can not see the land with his eyes.
