4. And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving; and thou shalt go forth in the evening in their sight, as those that go forth to not return.
5. Dig through the wall in their sight, and leave thereby.
6. In their sight thou shalt bear it upon thy shoulders and carry it forth in the night; thou shalt cover thy face, and thou shalt not look at the land; 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 a journey, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the night, and I bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8. And in the morning the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9. Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10. Say thou unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: This burden concerns 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: when they go to another country they shall go in captivity.
12. And the prince that is among them shall be born upon their shoulders in the night, and they shall go forth; they shall dig through the wall to carry him out thereby; he shall cover his face that he not see the land with his eyes.
13. But I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will cause him to be taken to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it though he shall die there.
14. And I will scatter toward every wind all that were about him to help him and all his companies; and I will draw out the sword after them.
