Ezekiel 12

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 12 of 48

1 And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,

2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house. They have eyes to see, but they do not see; ears are to them to hear, but they do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

3 And you, son of man, make for yourself vessels for exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes. And you shall be exiled from your place to another place before their eyes. Perhaps they will see that they are a rebellious house.
