Ezekiel 12:7-12
New American Standard Bible
8And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9Son of man, has the house of Israel, the rebellious house, not said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 'This pronouncement concerns the prince in Jerusalem as well as all the house of Israel who are in it.'?’
11Say, ‘I am a sign to you. Just as I have done, so it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.’
12The prince who is among them will load his baggage on his shoulder in the dark and go out. They will dig a hole through the wall to bring it out through it. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes.
King James Version
8And in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
9Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

8In the morning the word of the Lord came to me:
9"Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, that rebellious house, asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: This pronouncement concerns the prince in Jerusalem and the whole house of Israel living there.’
11You are to say, ‘I am a sign for you. Just as I have done, it will be done to them; they will go into exile, into captivity.’
12The prince who is among them will lift his bags to his shoulder in the dark and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land with his eyes.
New Living Translation
8The next morning this message came to me from the Lord:
9Son of man, these rebels, the people of Israel, have asked you what all this means.
10Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: These actions contain a message for King Zedekiah in Jerusalem and for all the people of Israel.’
11Explain that your actions are a sign to show what will soon happen to them, for they will be driven into exile as captives.

9"Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.’
11Say, ‘I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.’

9“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are among them.” ’
