The word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} also came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} thou dwellest{H3427} in the midst{H8432} of the rebellious{H4805} house,{H1004} that have eyes{H5869} to see,{H7200} and see{H7200} not, that have ears{H241} to hear,{H8085} and hear{H8085} not; for they are a rebellious{H4805} house.{H1004}

Therefore, thou son{H1121} of man,{H120} prepare{H6213} thee stuff{H3627} for removing,{H1473} and remove{H1540} by day{H3119} in their sight;{H5869} and thou shalt remove{H1540} from thy place{H4725} to another{H312} place{H4725} in their sight:{H5869} it may be they will consider,{H7200} though they are a rebellious{H4805} house.{H1004}

And thou shalt bring forth{H3318} thy stuff{H3627} by day{H3119} in their sight,{H5869} as stuff{H3627} for removing;{H1473} and thou shalt go forth{H3318} thyself at even{H6153} in their sight,{H5869} as when men go forth{H4161} into exile.{H1473}

Dig{H2864} thou through the wall{H7023} in their sight,{H5869} and carry out{H3318} thereby.

In their sight{H5869} shalt thou bear{H5375} it upon thy shoulder,{H3802} and carry it forth{H3318} in the dark;{H5939} thou shalt cover{H3680} thy face,{H6440} that thou see{H7200} not the land:{H776} for I have set{H5414} thee for a sign{H4159} unto the house{H1004} of Israel.{H3478}

And I did{H6213} so as I was commanded:{H6680} I brought forth{H3318} my stuff{H3627} by day,{H3119} as stuff{H3627} for removing,{H1473} and in the even{H6153} I digged{H2864} through the wall{H7023} with my hand;{H3027} I brought it forth{H3318} in the dark,{H5939} and bare{H5375} it upon my shoulder{H3802} in their sight.{H5869}

And in the morning{H1242} came the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} hath not the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} the rebellious{H4805} house,{H1004} said{H559} unto thee, What doest{H6213} thou?

Say{H559} thou unto them, Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} This burden{H4853} [concerneth] the prince{H5387} in Jerusalem,{H3389} and all the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} among{H8432} whom they are.

Say,{H559} I am your sign:{H4159} like as I have done,{H6213} so shall it be done{H6213} unto them; they shall go{H3212} into exile,{H1473} into captivity.{H7628}

And the prince{H5387} that is among{H8432} them shall bear{H5375} upon his shoulder{H3802} in the dark,{H5939} and shall go forth:{H3318} they shall dig{H2864} through the wall{H7023} to carry out{H3318} thereby: he shall cover{H3680} his face,{H6440} because{H3282} he shall not see{H7200} the land{H776} with his eyes.{H5869}

My net{H7568} also will I spread{H6566} upon him, and he shall be taken{H8610} in my snare;{H4686} and I will bring{H935} him to Babylon{H894} to the land{H776} of the Chaldeans;{H3778} yet shall he not see{H7200} it, though he shall die{H4191} there.

And I will scatter{H2219} toward every wind{H7307} all that are round about{H5439} him to help{H5828} him, and all his bands;{H102} and I will draw out{H7324} the sword{H2719} after{H310} them.

And they shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah,{H3068} when I shall disperse{H2219} them among the nations,{H1471} and scatter{H6327} them through the countries.{H776}

But I will leave{H3498} a few{H4557} men{H582} of them from the sword,{H2719} from the famine,{H7458} and from the pestilence;{H1698} that they may declare{H5608} all their abominations{H8441} among the nations{H1471} whither they come;{H935} and they shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068}

Moreover the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came to me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} eat{H398} thy bread{H3899} with quaking,{H7494} and drink{H8354} thy water{H4325} with trembling{H7269} and with fearfulness;{H1674}

and say{H559} unto the people{H5971} of the land,{H127} Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H136} concerning the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem,{H3389} and the land{H776} of Israel:{H3478} They shall eat{H398} their bread{H3899} with fearfulness,{H1674} and drink{H8354} their water{H4325} in dismay,{H8078} that her land{H776} may be desolate,{H3456} [and despoiled] of all that is therein,{H4393} because of the violence{H2555} of all them that dwell{H3427} therein.

And the cities{H5892} that are inhabited{H3427} shall be laid waste,{H2717} and the land{H776} shall be a desolation;{H8077} and ye shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068}

And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} what is this proverb{H4912} that ye have in the land{H127} of Israel,{H3478} saying,{H559} The days{H3117} are prolonged,{H748} and every vision{H2377} faileth?{H6}

Tell{H559} them therefore, Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} I will make this proverb{H4912} to cease,{H7673} and they shall no more use it as a proverb{H4911} in Israel;{H3478} but say{H1696} unto them, The days{H3117} are at hand,{H7126} and the fulfilment{H1697} of every vision.{H2377}

For there shall be no more any false{H7723} vision{H2377} nor flattering{H2509} divination{H4738} within{H8432} the house{H1004} of Israel.{H3478}

For I am Jehovah;{H3068} I will speak,{H1696} and the word{H1697} that I shall speak{H1696} shall be performed;{H6213} it shall be no more deferred:{H4900} for in your days,{H3117} O rebellious{H4805} house,{H1004} will I speak{H1696} the word,{H1697} and will perform{H6213} it, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

Again the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came to me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} behold, they of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} say,{H559} The vision{H2377} that he seeth{H2372} is for many{H7227} day{H3117} to come, and he prophesieth{H5012} of times{H6256} that are far{H7350} off.

Therefore say{H559} unto them, Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} There shall none of my words{H1697} be deferred{H4900} any more, but the word{H1697} which I shall speak{H1696} shall be performed,{H6213} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}
