Ezekiel 12:2-4

Contemporary English Version

^2 (A) Ezekiel, son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but refuse to see; they have ears, but refuse to listen. ³ So before it gets dark, here is what I want you to do. Pack a few things as though you were going to be taken away as a prisoner. Then go outside where everyone can see you and walk around from place to place. Maybe as they watch, they will realize what rebels they are. ⁴ After you have done this, return to your house.

Later that evening leave your house as if you were going into exile.
