Ezekiel 12:3–12

³And thou, son of man, prepare thee a captive’s baggage, and go captive by day in their sight; and thou shalt go captive from thy place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house. ⁴And bring forth thy baggage by day in their sight, as a captive’s baggage, and thou thyself, go forth at even in their sight as they that go forth into captivity. ⁵Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. ⁶In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, and thou shalt not see the ground: for I have appointed thee for a sign unto the house of Israel. ⁷And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as a captive’s baggage, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder, in their sight. ⁸And in the morning the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, ⁹Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou? ¹⁰Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them. ¹¹Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall go into exile, into captivity. ¹²And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the land with his eyes.
