Good News Bible

Ezekiel 12:1-5 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. The Lord spoke to me.

2. “Mortal man,” he said, “you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but they see nothing; they have ears, but they hear nothing, because they are rebellious.

3. “Now, mortal man, pack a bundle just as a refugee would, and start out before nightfall. Let everyone see you leaving and going to another place. Maybe those rebels will notice you.

4. While it is still daylight, pack your bundle for exile, so that they can see you, and then let them watch you leave in the evening as if you were going into exile.

5. While they are watching, break a hole through the wall of your house and take your pack out through it.
