Ezekiel 12:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 12
Acts Symbolic of the Exile.[a] 1 This word of the Lord came to me: 2 Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes with which to see, but they do not see, and they have ears with which to hear, but they do not hear, for they are rebellious by their very nature.
3 Therefore, son of man, while they observe you, pack up your belongings and set off from your home into exile during the day. Perhaps this will cause them to understand that they are a rebellious people.
