8. The next morning the Lord spoke to me.
9. “Mortal man,” he said, “now that those Israelite rebels are asking you what you're doing,
10. tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them. This message is for the prince ruling in Jerusalem and for all the people who live there.
11. Tell them that what you have done is a sign of what will happen to them — they will be refugees and captives.
12. The prince who is ruling them will shoulder his pack in the dark and escape through a hole that they dig for him in the wall. He will cover his eyes and not see where he is going.
13. But I will spread out my net and trap him in it. Then I will take him to the city of Babylon, where he will die without having seen it.
