Ezekiel 12

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message came to me:

2 "Son of man, you're living with a bunch of rebellious people. They have eyes but don't see a thing, they have ears but don't hear a thing. They're rebels all.

3 So, son of man, pack up your exile duffel bags. Leave in broad daylight with everyone watching and go off, as if into exile. Maybe then they'll understand what's going on, rebels though they are.

4 You'll take up your baggage while they watch, a bundle of the bare necessities of someone going into exile, and toward evening leave, just like a person going off into exile.

5 As they watch, dig through the wall of the house and carry your bundle through it.

6 In full sight of the people, put the bundle on your shoulder and walk out into the night. Cover your face so you won't have to look at what you'll never see again. I'm using you as a sign for the family of Israel."

7 I did exactly as he commanded me. I got my stuff together and brought it out in the street where everyone could see me, bundled it up the way someone being taken off into exile would, and then, as the sun went down, made a hole in the wall of the house with my hands. As it grew dark and as they watched, I left, throwing my bundle across my shoulders.

8 The next morning God spoke to me:

9 "Son of man, when anyone in Israel, that bunch of rebels, asks you, 'What are you doing?'

10 Tell them, 'God, the Master, says that this Message especially concerns the prince in Jerusalem - Zedekiah - but includes all the people of Israel.'

11 "Also tell them, 'I am drawing a picture for you. As I am now doing, it will be done to all the people of Israel. They will go into exile as captives.'

12 "The prince will put his bundle on his shoulders in the dark and leave. He'll dig through the wall of the house, covering his face so he won't have to look at the land he'll never see again.

13 But I'll make sure he gets caught and is taken to Babylon. Blinded, he'll never see that land in which he'll die.

14 I'll scatter to the four winds those who helped him escape, along with his troops, and many will die in battle.

15 They'll realize that I am God when I scatter them among foreign countries.

16 "I'll permit a few of them to escape the killing, starvation, and deadly sickness so that they can confess among the foreign countries all the disgusting obscenities they've been involved in. They will realize that I am God."

17 God's Message came to me:

18 "Son of man, eat your meals shaking in your boots, drink your water trembling with fear.

19 Tell the people of this land, everyone living in Jerusalem and Israel, God's Message: 'You'll eat your meals shaking in your boots and drink your water in terror because your land is going to be stripped bare as punishment for the brutality rampant in it.

20 All the cities and villages will be emptied out and the fields destroyed. Then you'll realize that I am God.'"

21 God's Message came to me:

22 "Son of man, what's this proverb making the rounds in the land of Israel that says, 'Everything goes on the same as ever; all the prophetic warnings are false alarms'?

23 "Tell them, 'God, the Master, says, This proverb's going to have a short life!'

24 False alarms and easygoing preaching are a thing of the past in the life of Israel.

25 I, God, am doing the speaking. What I say happens. None of what I say is on hold. What I say, I'll do - and soon, you rebels!' Decree of God the Master."

26 God's Message came to me:

27 "Son of man, do you hear what Israel is saying: that the alarm the prophet raises is for a long time off, that he's preaching about the far-off future?

28 Well, tell them, 'God, the Master, says, "Nothing of what I say is on hold. What I say happens."' Decree of God, the Master."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

2 fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas qui oculos habent ad videndum et non vident et aures ad audiendum et non audiunt quia domus exasperans est

3 tu ergo fili hominis fac tibi vasa transmigrationis et transmigrabis per diem coram eis transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum si forte aspiciant quia domus exasperans est

4 et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis sicut egreditur migrans

5 ante oculos eorum perfodi tibi parietem et egredieris per eum

6 in conspectu eorum in umeris portaberis in caligine effereris faciem tuam velabis et non videbis terram quia portentum dedi te domui Israhel

7 feci ergo sicut praeceperat mihi vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu in caligine egressus sum et in umeris portatus in conspectu eorum

8 et factus est sermo Domini ad me mane dicens

9 fili hominis numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israhel domus exasperans quid tu facis

10 dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus super ducem onus istud qui est in Hierusalem et super omnem domum Israhel quae est in medio eorum

11 dic ego portentum vestrum quomodo feci sic fiet illis in transmigrationem et captivitatem ibunt

12 et dux qui est in medio eorum in umeris portabitur in caligine egredietur parietem perfodient ut educant eum facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram

13 et extendam rete meum super illum et capietur in sagena mea et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldeorum et ipsam non videbit ibique morietur

14 et omnes qui circa eum sunt praesidium eius et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum et gladium evaginabo post eos

15 et scient quia ego Dominus quando dispersero illos in gentibus et disseminavero eos in terris

16 et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio et fame et pestilentia ut narrent omnia scelera eorum in gentibus ad quas ingredientur et scient quia ego Dominus

17 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

18 fili hominis panem tuum in conturbatione comede sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et maerore bibe

19 et dices ad populum terrae haec dicit Dominus Deus ad eos qui habitant in Hierusalem in terra Israhel panem suum in sollicitudine comedent et aquam suam in desolatione bibent ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua propter iniquitatem omnium qui habitant in ea

20 et civitates quae nunc habitantur desolatae erunt terraque deserta et scietis quia ego Dominus

21 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

22 fili hominis quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israhel dicentium in longum differentur dies et peribit omnis visio

23 ideo dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus quiescere faciam proverbium istud neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israhel et loquere ad eos quod adpropinquaverint dies et sermo omnis visionis

24 non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israhel

25 quia ego Dominus loquar quodcumque locutus fuero verbum et fiet non prolongabitur amplius sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum et faciam illud dicit Dominus Deus

26 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

27 fili hominis ecce domus Israhel dicentium visio quam hic videt in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat

28 propterea dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus verbum quod locutus fuero conplebitur dicit Dominus Deus
