The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

Son of man, you are living among a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings as if for exile and go into exile in their sight—by day, in their sight—so that they may see. Move from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

Bring out your belongings as if for exile during the day, in their sight. Then, in the evening, leave in their sight, as if you were departing into exile.

Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

In their sight, dig through the wall and carry your belongings through it.

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

Carry your things on your shoulder in their sight, at dusk. Cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.

In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

So I did as I was commanded. By day, I brought out my belongings as if for exile. In the evening, I dug through the wall with my hands. I brought them out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder in their sight.

And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

Then in the morning, the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

Son of man, has not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, asked you, ‘What are you doing?’

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in the city.’

Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

Say, ‘I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.’

Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

The prince who is among them will shoulder his belongings and leave in the darkness. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.

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.

I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.

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.

I will scatter all who are around him—his helpers and all his troops—to every wind, and I will draw my sword after them.

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.

Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.

And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine, and plague so that they may recount all their detestable practices among the nations where they go. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with shaking and anxiety.

Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;

Say to the people of the land, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says about the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in desolation, for their land will be stripped of all it contains because of the violence of all who live there.’

And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: 'The days grow long, and every vision fails'?

Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to this proverb, and it will not be quoted in Israel anymore.’ But say to them, ‘The days are near when all visions will be fulfilled.’

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

For there will no longer be any false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel.

For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

For I am the LORD. I will speak, and whatever word I speak will come to pass. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and fulfill it, declares the Lord GOD.

For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Son of man, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many days from now; he prophesies about times far off.’

Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: None of My words will be delayed any longer, but whatever I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’

Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
