Ezekiel 12:11-14
New International Version
11 Say to them, ‘I am a sign(A) to you.’
“As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives.(B)
12 “The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder at dusk(C) and leave, and a hole will be dug in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.(D) 13 I will spread my net(E) for him, and he will be caught in my snare;(F) I will bring him to Babylonia, the land of the Chaldeans,(G) but he will not see(H) it, and there he will die.(I) 14 I will scatter to the winds all those around him—his staff and all his troops—and I will pursue them with drawn sword.(J)
Ezekiel 12:11-14
King James Version
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.
