Ezekiel 12:7

5 As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.

6 And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”

So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.

8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 “Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
