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)

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 12:12 This prophecy was literally fulfilled as recorded in Jer. 52:7-11. King Zedekiah’s eyes were put out in Riblah, Palestine, before he was carried to Babylon, where he died. Thus he did “not see it,” even though he died there.
