Ezekiel 12:11-21

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

11 "Tell them, 'I am your warning sign. What I have done will happen to you. You will go into exile and into captivity.

12 The prince who is among you will put his bags on his shoulders in the dark and leave. People will dig holes in the wall to go through. The prince will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.

13 I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my net. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Babylonians, but he will not see it. And that's where he'll die.

14 I will scatter in every direction all those who are around him--his staff and all his troops. I will pursue them with my sword.

15 Then they will know that I am the LORD, because I will scatter them among the nations and force them into other countries.

16 However, I will spare a few of them from wars, famines, and plagues. Wherever they go among the nations, they will realize that everything they did was disgusting. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"

18 "Son of man, shake as you eat your food. Tremble and be worried as you drink your water.

19 "Tell the people of this land, 'This is what the Almighty LORD says about the people who live in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will be worried as they eat their food and terrified as they drink their water. Their country will be stripped of everything because everyone who lives there is violent.

20 The cities where people live will be destroyed, and the country will become a wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"

12 “The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder at dusk and leave, and a hole will be dug in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.

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

14 I will scatter to the winds all those around him—his staff and all his troops—and I will pursue them with drawn sword.

15 “They will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.

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

20 The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ”
