24
Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea,
to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25
Then I spake unto them
of the captivity all the things that the L
ORD
had shewed me.
CHAPTER 12
The word of the L
ORD
also came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a
rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they
are
a rebellious house.
3
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove
by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may
be they will consider, though they
be
a rebellious house.
4
Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by
day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that
go forth into captivity.
5
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6
In their
sight shalt thou bear
it
upon
thy
shoulders,
and
carry
it
forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy
face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee
for
a sign unto the house of Israel.
7
And I did
so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I
digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought
it
forth in the twilight,
and
I bare
it
upon
my
shoulder in their sight.
8
And in the morning came the word of the L
ORD
unto me, saying,
9
Son of man, hath not the
house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
.
17
Moreover the word of the L
ORD
came to me, saying,
18
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking,
and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
19
And say unto the people of the land,
Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and
of the land of Israel; They shall eat
their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate
from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20
And the cities that
