9. “Son of man, did not they, the house of Israel, the house of rebellion, say to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10. Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This oracle is about the prince in Jerusalem and the entire house of Israel who are among them.” ’
11. Say, ‘I am your sign, and just as I did, so will it be done to them in the exile; into captivity they will go.’
12. And the prince who is in the midst of them, on his shoulder he will carry the baggage in the dusk, and he will go out; the wall will be dug through to bring him through it; and he will cover his face so that he will not see the land with his eye.
13. And I will spread out my net on him, and he will be captured in my hunting snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.
14. And all who are around him, his help and all of his troops I will scatter in every direction, and I will draw the sword behind them.
15. And they will know that I am Yahweh when I scatter them among the nations and I scatter them in the countries.
16. But I will spare from them a few men from the sword, from the famine and from the plague, so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations to which they will go, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
