Ezekiel 12:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ So I did just as he commanded me. During the day I brought out my things as if I were going on a long trip. In the evening I dug through the wall of my house with my hands. At sunset I took my belongings out. I put them on my shoulders. The people watched what I was doing.

⁸ In the morning a message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said, ⁹ “Son of man, didn’t the Israelites ask you, ‘What are you doing?’ They always refuse to obey me.
