9. “Son of man, did not the house of Yisra’ĕl, the rebellious house, say to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10. “Say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “This message is to the prince in Yerushalayim and all the house of Yisra’ĕl who are in their midst.” ’
11. “Say, ‘I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it is done to them – they are to go into exile, into captivity.’
12. “And the prince who is in their midst is to bear his baggage on his shoulder at dark and go out. They are to dig through the wall to bring them out through it. He is to cover his face, so that he does not see the land with his eyes.
13. “And I shall spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. And I shall bring him to Baḇel, the land of the Chaldeans, but he shall not see it, and yet die there.
14. “And I shall scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands, and I shall draw out the sword after them.
