Ezekiel 12:12-14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
12 And the prince who is in their midst shall lift up his luggage to his shoulder in the dark; then shall he go forth. They shall dig through the wall to carry out through the hole in it. He shall cover his face so that he will [a]not see with his eyes the land.
13 My net also will I spread over him, and he shall be taken in My snare, and I will bring him to Babylonia, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he [b]not see it, though he shall die there.(A)
14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are about him to help him, even all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

- Ezekiel 12:13 This prophecy was literally fulfilled as recorded in several Old Testament passages (see textual references).
