Book 14 : NEVIIM - EZEKIEL - Chapter 012
12:001
The word of HaShem also came unto me, saying
12:002
'Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious
house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not;
for they are a rebellious house
12:003
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for exile,
and remove as though for exile by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from
thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will perceive, for
they are a rebellious house
12:004
And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight,
as stuff for exile; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as
when men go forth into exile
12:005
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out
thereby
12:006
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and
carry it forth in the darkness; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the
ground; for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
12:007
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff
by day, as stuff for exile, and in the even I digged through the wall with my
hand; I carried out in the darkness, and bore it upon my shoulder in their
sight
12:008
And in the morning came the word of HaShem unto me, saying
12:009
'Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious
house, said unto thee: What doest thou
12:010
Say thou unto them: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Concerning
the prince, even this burden, in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among
whom they are
12:011
say: I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be
done unto them--they shall go into exile, into captivity
12:012
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his
shoulder, and go forth in the darkness; they shall dig through the wall to carry
out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes
12:013
My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken
in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet
shall he not see it, though he shall die there
12:014
And I will disperse toward every wind all that are round
about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after
them
12:015
And they shall know that I am HaShem, when I shall scatter
them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries
12:016
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from
the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their
abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am
HaShem.
12:017
Moreover the word of HaShem came to me, saying
12:018
'Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy
water with trembling and with anxiety
12:019
and say unto the people of the land: Thus saith the L-rd
GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel. They shall
eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with appalment, that her
land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all
them that dwell therein
12:020
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and
the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am HaShem.
12:021
And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying
12:022
'Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land
of Israel, saying: The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth
12:023
Tell them therefore: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: I will make
this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but
say unto them: The days are at hand, and the word of every vision
12:024
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor smooth
divination within the house of Israel
12:025
For I am HaShem; I will speak, what word soever it be that
I shall speak, and it shall be performed; it shall be no more delayed; for in
your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith
the L-rd GOD.
12:026
Again the word of HaShem came to me, saying
12:027
'Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say: The
vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that
are far off
12:028
Therefore say unto them: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: There
shall none of My words be delayed any more, but the word which I shall speak
shall be performed, saith the L-rd GOD.
