Ezekiel 12:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ While they watch, dig a hole through the wall and take your backpack out through it. ⁶ While they watch, shoulder your backpack and carry it out in the dark. Cover your face so that you can’t see the land, because I’m making you a sign for the house of Israel. ⁷ So I did as I was commanded. I carried out my backpack like an exile’s backpack in the daytime. At night I dug a hole through the wall with my hands. In the darkness, I shouldered my backpack and carried it out while they watched.
