And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

"Son of man, has the house of Israel, the ^(C1)rebellious house, not said to you, '^(C2)What are you doing?'

"Say to them, 'This is what the Lord ^(F1)GOD says: "This ^(C1)pronouncement concerns the prince in Jerusalem as well as all the house of Israel who are ^(F2)in it."'

"Say, 'I am ^(F1)a ^(C1)sign to you. Just as I have done, so it will be done to them; they will ^(C2)go into exile, into captivity.'

"The ^(C1)prince who is among them will load his baggage on his shoulder in the dark and go out. ^(F1)They will dig a hole through the wall to bring it out through it. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes.

"I will also spread My ^(C1)net over him, and he will be caught in My net. And I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will ^(C2)not see it, though he will die there.

"And I will ^(C1)scatter to every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops; and I will draw out a sword after them.

"So they will ^(C1)know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries.

"But I will ^(F1)spare a few of them from the ^(C1)sword, the famine, and plague so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations where they go, and ^(F2)may ^(C2)know that I am the LORD."
