1 The Lord said:
2 Ezekiel, son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but refuse to see; they have ears, but refuse to listen.
3 So before it gets dark, here is what I want you to do. Pack a few things as though you were going to be taken away as a prisoner. Then go outside where everyone can see you and walk around from place to place. Perhaps as they watch, they will realize what rebels they are.
4 After you have done this, return to your house.Later that evening leave your house as if you were going into exile.
5 Dig through the wall of your house and crawl out, carrying the bag with you. Make sure everyone is watching.
