Ezekiel 12

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

The word of Yahweh came to 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, you live in the midst of a rebellious house, where they have eyes to see but they do not see; and where they have ears to hear but do not listen, because 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 as for you, son of man, prepare your things for exile, and begin going out by day in their sight, for I will exile you in their sight from your place to another place. Perhaps they will begin to see, though 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.

You will bring out your things for an exile in the day in their sight; go out in the evening in their sight in the way that anyone goes into exile.

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

Dig a hole through the wall in their sight, and go out through it.

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, lift up your things onto your shoulder, and bring them out in the darkness. Cover your face, for you must not see the land, since I have set you as a sign to 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.

So I did this, just as I was commanded. I brought out my things of exile in the daytime, and in the evening I dug a hole through the wall by hand. I brought my things out in the dark, and lifted them up on my shoulder in their sight.

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

Then the word of Yahweh came to me in the morning, 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, is the house of Israel, that rebellious house, not asking, 'What are you doing?'

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 to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: this prophetic action concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel in whose midst 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 a sign to you.' As I have done, so it will be done to them; they will go into exile and 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.

The prince who is among them will lift up his things upon his shoulder in the dark, and will go out through the wall. They will dig through the wall and bring out their things. He will cover his face, so he will not see the land 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.

I will spread out my net over him and he will be caught in my snare; then I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it. He will die there.

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

I will also scatter in every direction all of those around him who were to assist him and his entire army, and I will send out a 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.

Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.

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 spare a few men from among them from the sword, famine, and plague, so they may record all of their abominations in the lands where I take them, so they will know that I am Yahweh.”

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

The word of Yahweh 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 your bread with trembling, and drink your water with shaking and worry.

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.

Then say to the people of the land, 'The Lord Yahweh says this concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel, “They will eat their bread with trembling and drink their water while shaking, since the land will be despoiled of its fullness because of the violence of all those who live there.

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.

So the cities that were inhabited will be desolate, and the land will become a wasteland; so you will know that I am Yahweh.”'”

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

Again the word of Yahweh came to 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 this proverb that you have in the land of Israel that says, 'The days are prolonged, and every vision fails'?

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.

Therefore, say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I will put an end to this proverb, and the people of Israel will no longer use it.' Say to them, 'The days have drawn near when every vision will be fulfilled.

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 will no longer be any false visions or favorable divinations 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 Yahweh! I speak, and I carry out the words that I speak. The matter will no longer be delayed. For I will speak this word in your days, rebellious house, and I will carry it out!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

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

Again the word of Yahweh 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, the house of Israel has said, 'The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of far off times.'

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 to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: My words will not be delayed any longer, but the word that I have spoken will be done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
