5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way.
6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my stuff by day, as stuff for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8 In the morning, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
9 “Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 “Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
11 “Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
