Move from your place to another with the people watching. Maybe they will understand, even though they are a ·people who refuse to obey [^Lrebellious house]. ⁴ During the day when the people are watching, bring out ·the things you would pack as captive [your bags of exile]. At evening, with the people watching, leave your place like those ·who are taken away as captives from their country [going out as exiles].
