Ezekiel 12:3–12

³And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they are. ⁴And thou hast brought forth thy vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and thou, thou dost go forth at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal. ⁵Before their eyes dig for thee through the wall, and thou hast brought forth by it. ⁶Before their eyes on the shoulder thou dost bear, in the darkness thou dost bring forth, thy face thou dost cover, and thou dost not see the earth, for a type I have given thee to the house of Israel.’ ⁷And I do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before their eyes. ⁸And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the morning, saying, ⁹‘Son of man, have they not said unto thee—the house of Israel—the rebellious house—What art thou doing? ¹⁰say unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: ‘The prince is this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst. ¹¹Say: I am your type; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go. ¹²As to the prince who is in their midst, on the shoulder he beareth in the darkness, and he goeth forth, through the wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covereth, that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
