Third Millennium Bible TMB
New International Version NIV
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my goods by day, as supplies for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall with mine hand. I brought them forth in the twilight, and I bore them upon my shoulder in their sight.
7
So I did as I was commanded. During the day I brought out my things packed for exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulders while they watched.
8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
8
In the morning the word of the LORD came to me:
9 "Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, `What doest thou?'
9
“Son of man, did not the Israelites, that rebellious people, ask you, ‘What are you doing?’
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.'
10
“Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: This prophecy concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the Israelites who are there.’
11 Say, `I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done unto them. They shall remove and go into captivity.'
11
Say to them, ‘I am a sign to you.’ “As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives.
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.
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 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.
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 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
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 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations and disperse them in the countries.
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 leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
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.”
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17
The word of the LORD came to me:
