Ezekiel 12 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh’s word also came to me, saying,
[2] “Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.
[3] “Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
[4] You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
[5] Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
[6] In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
[7] I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
[8] In the morning, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[9] “Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
[10] “Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.” ’
[11] “Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
[12] “ ‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
[13] I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
[14] I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
[15] “ ‘They will know that I am Yahweh 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 nations where they come. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
[17] Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[18] “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
[19] Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord Yahweh says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
[20] The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
[21] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[22] “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
[23] Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;” ’ but tell them, ‘ “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
[24] For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
[25] For I am Yahweh. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
[26] Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[27] “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
[28] “Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 12 (YLT)

[1] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
[2] ‘Son of man, in the midst of the rebellious house thou art dwelling, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; ears they have to hear, and they have not heard; for a rebellious house are they.
[3] And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they are.
[4] And thou hast brought forth thy vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and thou, thou dost go forth at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.
[5] Before their eyes dig for thee through the wall, and thou hast brought forth by it.
[6] Before their eyes on the shoulder thou dost bear, in the darkness thou dost bring forth, thy face thou dost cover, and thou dost not see the earth, for a type I have given thee to the house of Israel.’
[7] And I do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before their eyes.
[8] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the morning, saying,
[9] ‘Son of man, have they not said unto thee-the house of Israel-the rebellious house-What art thou doing?
[10] say unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: ‘The prince is this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.
[11] Say: I am your type; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go.
[12] As to the prince who is in their midst, on the shoulder he beareth in the darkness, and he goeth forth, through the wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covereth, that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
[13] And I have spread My net for him, and he hath been caught in My snare, and I have brought him in to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and it he doth not see-and there doth he die.
[14] ‘And all who are round about him to help him, and all his bands, I do scatter to every wind, and a sword I draw out after them.
[15] And they have known that I am Jehovah, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;
[16] and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, and they have known that I am Jehovah.’
[17] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
[18] ‘Son of man, thy bread in haste thou dost eat, and thy water with trembling and with fear thou dost drink;
[19] and thou hast said unto the people of the land, Thus said the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: Their bread with fear they do eat, and their water with astonishment drink, because its land is desolate, because of its fulness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.
[20] And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.’
[21] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
[22] ‘Son of man, what is this simile to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, Prolonged are the days, and perished hath every vision?
[23] therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the days, And spoken hath every vision.
[24] For there is no more any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house of Israel.
[25] For I am Jehovah, I speak, The word that I speak-it is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.’
[26] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
[27] ‘Son of man, lo, the house of Israel are saying, The vision that he is seeing is for many days, and of times far off he is prophesying,
[28] therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: None of my words are prolonged any more, When I speak a word-it is done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!’
