Ezekiel 12:4-6
New English Translation
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.[a] You must cover your face so that you cannot see the ground[b] because I have made you an object lesson[c] to the house of Israel.”
