4 Bring out your belongings packed for exile during the day while they are watching. And go out at evening, while they are watching, as if for exile.
5 While they are watching, dig a hole in the wall and carry your belongings out through it.
6 While they are watching, raise your baggage onto your shoulder and carry it out in the dark. You must cover your face so that you cannot see the ground because I have made you an object lesson to the house of Israel.”
7 So I did just as I was commanded. I carried out my belongings packed for exile during the day, and at evening I dug myself a hole through the wall with my hands. I went out in the darkness, carrying my baggage on my shoulder while they watched.
8 The word of the Lord came to me in the morning:
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 Say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: The prince will raise this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel within it.’
