Ezekiel 12:10

Read in context

Ezekiel 12:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 “Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’

10 Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’

11 You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives.

12 And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land.
