Ezekiel 12 — Context

10

Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

11

Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

12

And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

13

My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

14

And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

16

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
