Ezekiel 12:11

Say, I [am] your sign
Which represents you, and shows what will befall you: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them;
as he had carried out his stuff, and had removed it from one place to another, so they should be carried away out of their own land into a foreign country, as follows: they shall remove, [and] go into captivity;
the Babylonish captivity.
