3 do thou therefore, son of man, provide thyself utensils for a day of captivity, in their sight. And thou shalt be carried captive from this place of thine to another place, in their sight, that they may see.
4 Because they are a rebellious house, therefore thou shalt carry out thy utensils, the utensils for a day of captivity, before their eyes. And thou shalt go out in the evening in their sight, as a captive goeth out.
5 Make for thyself a breach in the wall and thou shalt go out through that, in their sight.
6 Thou shalt be taken up upon shoulders and shalt go out in a secret manner. Thou shalt cover thy face and not see the ground, for I have made thee a sign for the house of Israel.
7 So when I had done according to all that he had commanded me; and had carried out utensils for a day of captivity, and made in the evening a breach for myself in the wall, and had gone out in a concealed manner, being taken up upon shoulders in their sight;
8 a word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,
9 Son of man, Did not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, say to thee, What art thou doing?
10 Say respecting them, Thus saith the Lord, Lord; With respect to him who is the chief, and the ruler in Jerusalem, even to all the house of Israel, who are among them
11 say, I am acting signs. As I have done, so shall it be with them. They shall go into banishment and captivity.
12 And the chief in the midst of them shall be carried upon shoulders. He will go out in a secret manner through the wall; and a breach will be made for him to go out through it. He will cover his face that he may not be seen and he himself shall not see the ground.
13 But I will spread my net over him and he shall be caught in my enclosure. And I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it and he shall die there.
14 And all his helpers about him, and all them who assist him, I will scatter to every wind and make bare a sword to pursue them:
15 and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dispersed them among the nations. For I will disperse them through the countries
16 and leave a few of them from the sword, and from famine, and from pestilence, that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
