1	The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying# ,
			2	Son of man, thou dwellest# in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see# , and see# not; they have ears to hear# , and hear# not: for they are a rebellious house.
			3	Therefore, thou son of man, prepare# thee stuff for removing, and remove# by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove# from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider# , though they be a rebellious house. [stuff: or, instruments]
			4	Then shalt thou bring forth# thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth# at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity. [as they...: Heb. as the goings forth of captivity]
			5	Dig# thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out# thereby. [Dig...: Heb. Dig for thee]
			6	In their sight shalt thou bear# it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth# in the twilight: thou shalt cover# thy face, that thou see# not the ground: for I have set# thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
			7	And I did# so as I was commanded# : I brought forth# my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged# through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth# in the twilight, and I bare# it upon my shoulder in their sight. [digged: Heb. digged for me]
			8	And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying# ,
			9	Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said# unto thee, What doest# thou?
			10	Say# 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.
			11	Say# , I am your sign: like as I have done# , so shall it be done# unto them: they shall remove and go# into captivity. [they...: Heb. by removing go into captivity]
			12	And the prince that is among them shall bear# upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth# : they shall dig# through the wall to carry out# thereby: he shall cover# his face, that he see# not the ground with his eyes.
			13	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.
			14	And I will scatter# toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out# the sword after them.
			15	And they shall know# that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter# them among the nations, and disperse# them in the countries.
			16	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 heathen whither they come# ; and they shall know# that I am the LORD. [a few...: Heb. men of number]
			17	Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying# ,
			18	Son of man, eat# thy bread with quaking, and drink# thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
			19	And say# unto the people of the land, Thus saith# the Lord GOD of the inhabitants# of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat# their bread with carefulness, and drink# their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate# from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell# therein. [all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof]
			20	And the cities that are inhabited# shall be laid waste# , and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know# that I am the LORD.
			21	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			22	Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying# , The days are prolonged# , and every vision faileth# ?
			23	Tell# them therefore, Thus saith# the Lord 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 effect of every vision.
			24	For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
			25	For I am the LORD: I will speak# , and the word that I shall speak# shall come to pass# ; it shall be no more prolonged# : for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say# the word, and will perform# it, saith# the Lord GOD.
			26	Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying# ,
			27	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 the times that are far off.
			28	Therefore say# unto them, Thus saith# the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged# any more, but the word which I have spoken# shall be done# , saith# the Lord GOD.
