8 In the morning, the Lord’s word came to me:
9 Human one, has the house of Israel, that household of rebels, asked you, "What are you doing?"
10 Say to them, The Lord God proclaims: This concerns the prince in Jerusalem, along with the entire house of Israel in it.
11 Say: I’m your sign. Just as I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into captivity in exile.
12 Their prince will shoulder his backpack at night and go out. They will dig through the wall to lead him out through it, and he will cover his face so that his eyes won’t see the land.
13 But I will spread my net over him, catch him in my trap, and bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans. He won’t see it, but he will die there.
14 As for all those who are in league with him, I will scatter his helpers and all his troops to the winds and let the sword loose after them.
