Ezekiel 12:1-5 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Again the Lord spoke his word to me. He said:

2. “Human being, you are living among a people who refuse to obey. They have eyes to see, but they do not see. They have ears to hear, but they do not hear. This is because they are a family that refuses to obey.

3. “So, human being, pack your things as if you will be taken away captive. And walk away like a captive. Do this in the daytime with the people watching. Move from your place to another with the people watching. Maybe they will understand, even though they are a people who refuse to obey.

4. Bring out the things you would pack as a captive. Do it during the day when the people are watching. At evening go out with the people watching. Go like those who are taken away as captives from their country.

5. Dig a hole through the wall while they watch. Bring your things out through the hole.
