Ezekiel 12

Ezekiel Prepares for Exile

1

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

2

"Sonh1121 of manh120, you liveh3427 in the  amidsth8432 of the  brebellioush4805 househ1004, whoh834  chave eyesh5869 to seeh7200 but do not seeh7200, earsh241 to hearh8085 but do not hearh8085; for they are a rebellioush4805 househ1004.

3

"Therefore, sonh1121 of manh120, prepareh6213a for yourself baggageh3627 for exileh1473 and goh1540 into exileh1540 by dayh3119 in their sighth5869; even goh1540 into exileh1540 from your placeh4725 to anotherh312 placeh4725 in their sighth5869.  aPerhapsh194 they will  1understandh7200 thoughh3588 they are a rebellioush4805 househ1004.

4

"Bringh3318 your baggageh3627 out by dayh3119 in their sighth5869, as baggageh3627 for exileh1473. Then you will goh3318 out  aat eveningh6153 in their sighth5869, as those goingh4161 into exileh1473.

5

"Digh2864 a hole through the wallh7023 in their sighth5869 and  1goh3318 out through it.

6

"Loadh5375 the baggage on your shoulderh3802 in their sighth5869 and carryh3318 it out in the darkh5939. You shall  acoverh3680 your faceh6440 so that you cannoth3808 seeh7200 the landh776, for I have seth5414 you as a  bsignh4159 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478."

7

I  adidh6213a soh3651, as I had been commandedh6680. By dayh3119 I  bbroughth3318 out my baggageh3627 like the baggageh3627 of an exileh1473. Then in the eveningh6153 I dugh2864 through the wallh7023 with my handsh3027; I wenth3318 out in the darkh5939 and carriedh5375 the baggage on my shoulderh3802 in their sighth5869.

8

In the morningh1242 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

9

"Sonh1121 of manh120, has not the househ1004 of Israelh3478, the  arebellioush4805 househ1004, saidh559 to you, ` bWhath4100 are you doingh6213a?'

10

"Sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, "Thish2088  2 aburdenh4853b concerns the princeh5387a in Jerusalemh3389 as well as allh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 whoh834 are  3in it."'

11

"Sayh559, `I am  1a  asignh4159 to you. As I have doneh6213a, soh3651 it will be doneh6213a to them; they will  bgoh1980 into exileh1473, into captivityh7628b.'

12

"The  aprinceh5387a whoh834 is amongh8432 them will loadh5375 his baggage on his shoulderh3802 in the darkh5939 and goh3318 out.  1They will digh2864 a hole through the wallh7023 to bringh3318 it out. He will coverh3680 his faceh6440 soh3282h834 that he can not seeh7200 the landh776 with his eyesh5869.

13

"I will also spreadh6566 My  aneth7568 overh5921 him, and he will be caughth8610 in My snareh4686a. And I will bringh935 him to Babylonh894 in the landh776 of the Chaldeansh3778; yet he will  bnot seeh7200 it, though he will dieh4191 thereh8033.

14

"I will  ascatterh2219 to everyh3605 windh7307 allh3605 whoh834 are aroundh5439 him, his helpersh5828 and allh3605 his troopsh102; and I will drawh7385a out a swordh2719 afterh310 them.

15

"So they will  aknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068 when I scatterh6327a them among the nationsh1471 and spreadh2219 them among the countriesh776.

16

"But I will  1spareh3498 a fewh4557 of them from the  aswordh2719, the famineh7458 and the pestilenceh1698 that they may tellh5608 allh3605 their abominationsh8441 among the nationsh1471 whereh834h8033 they goh935, and  2may  bknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068."

17

Moreover, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

18

"Sonh1121 of manh120,  aeath398 your breadh3899 with tremblingh7494 and drinkh8354 your waterh4325 with quiveringh7269 and anxietyh1674.

19

"Then sayh559 to the peopleh5971a of the landh776, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068 concerning the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 in the landh127 of Israelh3478, "They will eath398 their breadh3899 with anxietyh1674 and drinkh8354 their waterh4325 with horrorh8078, becauseh4616  1their landh776 will be  2 astrippedh3456 of its fullnessh4393 on accounth6440 of the violenceh2555 of allh3605 who liveh3427 in it.

20

"The inhabitedh3427  acitiesh5892b will be laidh2717b wasteh2717b and the  blandh776 will be a desolationh8077. So you will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068.""'

21

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

22

"Sonh1121 of manh120, whath4100 is thish2088  aproverbh4912 you people have concerningh5921 the landh127 of Israelh3478, sayingh559, `The  bdaysh3117 are longh748 and everyh3605  cvisionh2377 failsh6'?

23

"Thereforeh3651 sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "I will make thish2088 proverbh4912 ceaseh7673a so that they will noh3808 longerh5750 useh4911b it as a proverbh4911b in Israelh3478." But tellh1696 them, " aThe daysh3117 drawh7126 nearh7126 as well as the  1fulfillmenth1697 of everyh3605 visionh2377.

24

"For there will noh3808 longerh5750 be anyh3605  1 afalseh7723 visionh2377 or flatteringh2509 divinationh4738 withinh8432 the househ1004 of Israelh3478.

25

"For I the LORDh3068 will speakh1696, and whateverh834  awordh1697 I speakh1696 will be performedh6213a. It will noh3808 longerh5750 be delayedh4900, for in  byour daysh3117, O  crebellioush4805 househ1004, I will speakh1696 the wordh1697 and performh6213a it," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.' "

26

Furthermore, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

27

"Sonh1121 of manh120, beholdh2009, the househ1004 of Israelh3478 is sayingh559, `The visionh2377 that he seesh2372 is for  amanyh7227a  1yearsh3117 from now, and he prophesiesh5012 of timesh6256 farh7350 offh7350.'

28

"Thereforeh3651 sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Noneh3808h3605 of My wordsh1697 will be delayedh4900 anyh5750 longerh5750. Whateverh3605h834 wordh1697 I speakh1696 will be performedh6213a,""' declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.
