Ezekiel 12:7-16 And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile, by day, and, in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth––on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile, by day, and, in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth––on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes. ⁸ Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, in the morning, saying: ⁹ Son of man, Have not the house of Israel, the perverse house, said unto thee,––What art thou, doing? ¹⁰ Say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,––[For] the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and [for] all the house of Israel, such as are in their midst. ¹¹ Say, I, am your sign: As I have done, so, shall it be done to them, Into exile––into captivity, shall they go. ¹² Yea, the Bearer who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break, to bear forth through it,––His face, shall he cover, to the end that, his own eye, may not see the land. ¹³ Then will I spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon, in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet, there, shall he die! ¹⁴ And, all who are round about him to help him, and all his troops, will I scatter to every wind,––and, a sword, will I make bare after them. ¹⁵ So shall they know, that, I, am Yahweh,––By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands. ¹⁶ Yet will I leave remaining of them, men easily counted, from the sword, from the famine and from the pestilence,––that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know, that, I, am Yahweh.
