Ezekiel 12:11 Meaning and Commentary

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.

Ezekiel 12:11 In-Context

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

10 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.'

11 Say, `I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done unto them. They shall remove and go into captivity.'

12 And the prince who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth; they shall dig through the wall to carry out through it. He shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

13 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.
