Ezekiel 12

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying:

2 O son of humankind in [the] midst of [the] house of rebellion you [are] dwelling whom eyes [belong] to them to see and not they see ears [belong] to them to hear and not they hear for [are] a house of rebellion they.

'Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.

3 And you O son of humankind prepare for yourself baggage of exile and go into exile by day to eyes their and you will go into exile from place your to a place another to eyes their perhaps they will see for [are] a house of rebellion they.

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for exile, and remove as though for exile by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will perceive, for they are a rebellious house.

4 And you will bring out baggage your like baggage of exile by day to eyes their and you you will go out in the evening to eyes their like goings out of exile.

And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for exile; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.

5 To eyes their dig yourself in the wall and you will bring out in it.

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

6 To eyes their on a shoulder you will lift [it] up in the darkness you will bring [it] out face your you will cover and not you will see the land for a sign I have made you to [the] house of Israel.

In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the darkness; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground; for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.'

7 And I did so just as I was commanded baggage my I brought out like baggage of exile by day and in the evening I dug myself in the wall by hand in the darkness I brought [it] out on a shoulder I lifted [it] up to eyes their.

And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for exile, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I carried out in the darkness, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.

8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the morning saying.

And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying:

9 O son of humankind ¿ not have they said to you [the] house of Israel [the] house of rebellion what? [are] you doing.

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

10 Say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [is] the prince the oracle this in Jerusalem and all [the] house of Israel who they [are] in midst of them.

Say thou unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Concerning the prince, even this burden, in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are,

11 Say I [am] sign your just as I have done so it will be done to them in exile in captivity they will go.

say: I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them — they shall go into exile, into captivity.

12 And the prince who [is] in midst of them to a shoulder he will lift up in the darkness so he may go out in the wall they will dig to bring out in it face his he will cover because that not he will see to the eye he the land.

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

13 And I will spread net my over him and he will be caught in hunting net my and I will bring him Babylon towards [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and it not he will see and there he will die.

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.

14 And all [those] who [are] around him (help his *Q(K)*) and all troops his I will disperse to every wind and a sword I will draw after them.

And I will disperse toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15 And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when scatter I them among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

16 And I will leave over some of them people of number from [the] sword from [the] famine and from [the] pestilence so that they may recount all abominations their among the nations where they have gone there and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

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 nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'

17 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

18 O son of humankind food your in quaking you will eat and water your in trembling and in anxiety you will drink.

'Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with anxiety;

19 And you will say to [the] people of the land thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem concerning [the] land of Israel food their in anxiety they will eat and water their in horror they will drink so that it may be desolate land its from fullness its from [the] violence of all the inhabitants in it.

and say unto the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel. They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with appalment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

20 And the cities inhabited they will be waste and the land a desolation it will become and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'

21 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

22 O son of humankind what? [is] the proverb this to you on [the] land of Israel saying they are long the days and it perishes every vision.

'Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying: The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

23 Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I will make to cease the proverb this and not people will use as a proverb it again in Israel that except speak to them they have drawn near the days and [the] matter of every vision.

Tell them therefore: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them: The days are at hand, and the word of every vision.

24 For not it will be again any vision of worthlessness and divination of flattery in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel.

For there shall be no more any vain vision nor smooth divination within the house of Israel.

25 For - I Yahweh I will speak which I will speak a word so it may be done not it will be postponed again for in days your O house of rebellion I will speak a word and I will do it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

For I am the LORD; I will speak, what word soever it be that I shall speak, and it shall be performed; it shall be no more delayed; for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.'

26 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

27 O son of humankind there! [the] house of Israel [are] saying the vision which he [is] seeing [is] of days many and of times distant he [is] prophesying.

'Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say: The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.

28 Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will be postponed again all words my [that] which I will speak a word so it may be done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Therefore say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of My words be delayed any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord GOD.'
