Ezekiel
Chapters 12:12-18
New English Translation
12“The prince who is among them will raise his belongings onto his shoulder in darkness, and will go out. He will dig a hole in the wall to leave through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes.
13But I will throw my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans (but he will not see it), and there he will die.
14All his retinue – his attendants and his troops – I will scatter to every wind; I will unleash a sword behind them.
15“Then they will know that I am the Lord when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among foreign countries.
16But I will let a small number of them survive the sword, famine, and pestilence, so that they can confess all their abominable practices to the nations where they go. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
17The word of the Lord came to me:
18“Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with anxious shaking.
