Son of man, thoudwellest in the midst of a rebellioushouse, whichhaveeyes to see, and see not; theyhaveears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellioushouse.
Therefore, thou son of man, preparetheestuff for removing, and remove by day in theirsight; and thoushaltremovefrom thy place to anotherplace in theirsight: it may be theywillconsider, thoughthey be a rebellioushouse.
Thenshaltthoubringforth thy stuff by day in theirsight, as stuff for removing: and thoushalt go forth at even in theirsight, as theythat go forthintocaptivity.
In theirsightshaltthoubear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thoushaltcover thy face, thatthou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a signunto the house of Israel.
And I did so as I was commanded: I broughtforth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I diggedthrough the wallwithminehand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in theirsight.
And the princethat is amongthemshallbearupon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: theyshall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shallcover his face, that he see not the groundwith his eyes.
My net alsowill I spreadupon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I willbring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
But I willleave a few men of themfrom the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; thatthey may declare all theirabominationsamong the heathenwhithertheycome; and theyshallknowthat I am the LORD.
And say unto the people of the land, Thussaith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; Theyshall eat theirbreadwithcarefulness, and drinktheirwaterwithastonishment, that her land may be desolatefrom all that is therein, because of the violence of all themthatdwelltherein.
Tellthemtherefore, Thussaith the Lord GOD; I willmakethisproverb to cease, and theyshall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say untothem, The days are at hand, and the effect of everyvision.
For I am the LORD: I willspeak, and the wordthat I shallspeakshallcome to pass; it shall be no moreprolonged: for in yourdays, O rebellioushouse, will I say the word, and willperform it, saith the Lord GOD.
Therefore say untothem, Thussaith the Lord GOD; Thereshallnone of my words be prolonged any more, but the wordwhich I havespokenshall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
