Ezekiel 12

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind in [the] midst of [the] house of rebellion you [are] dwelling whom eyes [belong] to them to see and not they see ears [belong] to them to hear and not they hear for [are] a house of rebellion they.

Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.

3 And you O son of humankind prepare for yourself baggage of exile and go into exile by day to eyes their and you will go into exile from place your to a place another to eyes their perhaps they will see for [are] a house of rebellion they.

You therefore, son of man, prepare yourself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and you shall be led into captivity from your place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.

4 And you will bring out baggage your like baggage of exile by day to eyes their and you you will go out in the evening to eyes their like goings out of exile.

And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and you shall go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.

5 To eyes their dig yourself in the wall and you will bring out in it.

Dig for yourself into the wall [of the house], and you shall pass through it in their sight:

6 To eyes their on a shoulder you will lift [it] up in the darkness you will bring [it] out face your you will cover and not you will see the land for a sign I have made you to [the] house of Israel.

you shall be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shall go forth in secret: you shall cover your face, and shall not see the ground: because I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.

7 And I did so just as I was commanded baggage my I brought out like baggage of exile by day and in the evening I dug myself in the wall by hand in the darkness I brought [it] out on a shoulder I lifted [it] up to eyes their.

And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.

8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the morning saying.

And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,

9 O son of humankind ¿ not have they said to you [the] house of Israel [the] house of rebellion what? [are] you doing.

Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you, What do you?

10 Say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [is] the prince the oracle this in Jerusalem and all [the] house of Israel who they [are] in midst of them.

Say to them, Thus says the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:

11 Say I [am] sign your just as I have done so it will be done to them in exile in captivity they will go.

say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.

12 And the prince who [is] in midst of them to a shoulder he will lift up in the darkness so he may go out in the wall they will dig to bring out in it face his he will cover because that not he will see to the eye he the land.

And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.

13 And I will spread net my over him and he will be caught in hunting net my and I will bring him Babylon towards [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and it not he will see and there he will die.

And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

14 And all [those] who [are] around him (help his *Q(K)*) and all troops his I will disperse to every wind and a sword I will draw after them.

And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;

15 And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when scatter I them among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them amongst the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.

16 And I will leave over some of them people of number from [the] sword from [the] famine and from [the] pestilence so that they may recount all abominations their among the nations where they have gone there and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities amongst the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

17 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

18 O son of humankind food your in quaking you will eat and water your in trembling and in anxiety you will drink.

Son of man, eat your bread with sorrow, and drink [your] water with torment and affliction.

19 And you will say to [the] people of the land thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem concerning [the] land of Israel food their in anxiety they will eat and water their in horror they will drink so that it may be desolate land its from fullness its from [the] violence of all the inhabitants in it.

And you shall say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.

20 And the cities inhabited they will be waste and the land a desolation it will become and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

21 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

22 O son of humankind what? [is] the proverb this to you on [the] land of Israel saying they are long the days and it perishes every vision.

Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, the vision has perished?

23 Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I will make to cease the proverb this and not people will use as a proverb it again in Israel that except speak to them they have drawn near the days and [the] matter of every vision.

Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.

24 For not it will be again any vision of worthlessness and divination of flattery in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel.

For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.

25 For - I Yahweh I will speak which I will speak a word so it may be done not it will be postponed again for in days your O house of rebellion I will speak a word and I will do it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], says the Lord.

26 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

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

27 O son of humankind there! [the] house of Israel [are] saying the vision which he [is] seeing [is] of days many and of times distant he [is] prophesying.

Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

28 Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will be postponed again all words my [that] which I will speak a word so it may be done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, says the Lord.
