12 Then the word of Yahweh was to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, in the midst of the house of rebellion, you are dwelling—who, eyes, belong to them to see, but they do not see; ears, belong to them to hear, but they do not hear, for they are a house of rebellion.

3 But you, son of man—make for yourself, the bag of an exile, and go into exile by day to their eyes. And you shall go into exile from your place to another place to their eyes. Perhaps they will see, though they are a house of rebellion. 4 And you shall bring out your bag like the bag of an exile by day to their eyes. But you yourself shall go out in the evening to their eyes like the going out of an exile. 5 To their eyes, dig for yourself in the wall, and you shall bring it out through it. 6 To their eyes, on a shoulder, you shall lift it up; in the twilight, you shall bring it out. Your face you shall cover so you will not see the land, for I have given you as a sign for the house of Israel.”

7 And I did so, just as I was commanded. My bag I brought out, like the bag of an exile, by day, and, in the evening, I dug for myself in the wall by hand. In the twilight, I brought it out; on a shoulder, I lifted it up to their eyes.

8 Then the word of Yahweh was to me in the morning, saying, 9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the house of rebellion, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’

10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: The prince, is this burden in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who they, are in the midst of them.’ 11 Say, ‘I, am your sign. Just as I have done, so it will be done to them; into exile, into captivity, they will go.’

12 And the prince who, is in the midst of them—to a shoulder, he will lift it in the twilight, and he will go out. Through the wall, they will dig to bring him out through it. His face he will cover, so that he will not see with the eye—he, the land. 13 And I will spread my net over him, and he will be seized in my snare. And I will bring him into Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but her he will not see, and there he will die. 14 And all who, are all around him, his help and all his troops—I will scatter to every wind, and a sword I will empty after them.

15 And they will know that I am Yahweh, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the lands. 16 But I will retain from them men of a number from sword, from famine, and from plague, so that they may recount all their abominations among the nations that they have come there. And they will know that I am Yahweh.”

17 Then the word of Yahweh was to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, your bread you shall eat with trembling, and your water you shall drink with shaking and with anxiety. 19 And you shall say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the dwellers of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: Their bread they will eat with anxiety, and their water they will drink with horror, because her land will be desolate from her fullness, from the violence of all who dwell in her. 20 And the inhabited cities will be ruinous, and the land will become a desolation. And you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”

21 Then the word of Yahweh was to me, saying, 22 “Son of man, what, is this proverb of yours concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days lengthen, and every vision passes’? 23 Therefore, say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I am ceasing this proverb, and they will not recite it anymore in Israel.’ Except, speak to them, ‘The days are drawing near, and the word of every vision. 24 For there will no longer be any vision of falsehood or divination of flattering in the midst of the house of Israel. 25 For I, Yahweh—I will speak; the word that I will speak, then it will be done. It will not be delayed any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word, and I will do it—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

26 Then the word of Yahweh was to me, saying, 27 “Son of man, look! The house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he is envisioning, is for many days, and for distant times he is prophesying.’

28 Therefore, say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: All of my words will not be delayed any longer; the word that I speak, then it will be done—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
