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, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, said to you, What are you doing?

10 You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.

11 Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.

12 And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.

13 And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.
