12The word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H559 2"Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house.H1121H120H3427H8432H4805H1004H5869H7200H7200H241H8085H8085H4805H1004 3As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.H1121H120H6213H3627H1473H1540H3119H5869H1540H4725H312H4725H5869H7200H4805H1004 4You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile, and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile.H3318H3627H3119H5869H3627H1473H3318H6153H5869H4161H1473 5In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it.H2864H7023H5869H3318 6In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel."H5869H5375H3802H3318H5939H3680H6440H7200H776H5414H4159H1004H3478 7And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.H6213H6680H3318H3627H3119H3627H1473H6153H2864H7023H3027H3318H5939H5375H3802H5869 8In the morning the word of the LORD came to me:H1242H1697H3068H559 9"Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, 'What are you doing?'H1121H120H1004H3478H4805H1004H559H6213 10Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.'H559H559H136H3069H4853H5387H3389H1004H3478H8432 11Say, 'I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.'H559H4159H6213H6213H1473H3212H7628 12And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder at dusk, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes.H5387H8432H5375H3802H5939H3318H2864H7023H3318H3680H6440H3282H7200H776H5869 13And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, and he shall die there.H7568H6566H8610H4686H935H894H776H3778H7200H4191 14And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops, and I will unsheathe the sword after them.H2219H7307H5439H5828H102H7324H2719H310 15And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries.H3045H3068H6327H1471H2219H776 16But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the LORD."H3498H4557H582H2719H7458H1698H5608H8441H1471H935H3045H3068 17And the word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H559 18"Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink water with trembling and with anxiety.H1121H120H398H3899H7494H8354H4325H7269H1674 19And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink water in dismay. In this way her land will be stripped of all it contains, on account of the violence of all those who dwell in it.H559H5971H127H559H136H3069H3427H3389H776H3478H398H3899H1674H8354H4325H8078H776H3456H4393H2555H3427 20And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD."H5892H3427H2717H776H8077H3045H3068 21And the word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H559 22"Son of man, what is this proverb that you have about the land of Israel, saying, 'The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing'?H1121H120H4912H127H3478H559H3117H748H2377H6 23Tell them therefore, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.' But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfillment of every vision.H559H559H136H3069H4912H7673H4911H3478H1696H3117H7126H1697H2377 24For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.H7723H2377H2509H4738H8432H1004H3478 25For I am the LORD; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord GOD."H3068H1696H1697H1696H6213H4900H3117H4805H1004H1696H1697H6213H5002H136H3069 26And the word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H559 27"Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, 'The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'H1121H120H1004H3478H559H2377H2372H7227H3117H5012H6256H7350 28Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord GOD."H559H559H136H3069H1697H4900H1697H1696H6213H5002H136H3069
