THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, you're living with a bunch of rebellious people. They have eyes but don't see a thing, they have ears but don't hear a thing. They're rebels all. So, son of man, pack up your exile duffel bags. Leave in broad daylight with everyone watching and go off, as if into exile. Maybe then they'll understand what's going on, rebels though they are. You'll take up your baggage while they watch, a bundle of the bare necessities of someone going into exile, and toward evening leave, just like a person going off into exile. As they watch, dig through the wall of the house and carry your bundle through it. In full sight of the people, put the bundle on your shoulder and walk out into the night. Cover your face so you won't have to look at what you'll never see again. I'm using you as a sign for the family of Israel."

Contextual Overview
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a provoking house: who have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a provoking house. 3 Thou, therefore, O son of man, prepare thee all necessaries for removing, and remove by day into their sight: and thou shalt remove out of thy place to another place in their sight, if so be they will regard it: for they are a provoking house. 4 And thou shalt bring forth thy furniture as the furniture of one that is removing by day in their sight: and thou shalt go forth in the evening in their presence, as one goeth forth that removeth his dwelling. 5 Dig thee a way through the wall before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth through it. 6 In their sight thou shalt be carried out upon men’s shoulders, thou shalt be carried out in the dark: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign of things to come to the house of Israel. 7 I did therefore as he had commanded me: I brought forth my goods by day, as the goods of one that removeth: and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand, and I went forth in the dark, and was carried on men’s shoulders in their sight. 8 And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying: 9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee: What art thou doing? 10 Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: This burden concerneth my prince that is in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel, that are among them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word of the Lord came unto me, saying. The word of prophecy, as the Targum; the vision of the cherubim being over, this, very likely, immediately followed upon the former; though the exact time of the prophecy cannot be fixed, because the date is not given; it must be between the sixth month of the sixth year of Jehoiachin's captivity, Ezekiel 8:1; and the fifth month of the seventh year,
Ezekiel 20:1.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XII
The prophet proceeds, by a variety of types and parables, to
convince those of the captivity that their brethren who were
left behind to sustain the miseries of a seige and the insults
of a conqueror, would be in a much worse condition than they
who were already settled in a foreign land. In the beginning of
this chapter he foretells the approaching captivity of Judah by
action instead of words, 1-7.
He predicts particularly the flight, capture, captivity, and
sufferings of Zedekiah and his followers, 8-16,
compared with Jeremiah 52:11.
He is to eat his food with trembling and signs of terror, as an
emblem of the consternation of the Jews when surrounded by
their enemies, 17-20;
and then he answers the objections and bywords of scoffers and
infidels, who either disbelieved his threatening or supposed
the accomplishment of them very distant, 21-28.
Josephus (Antiq. xi. 10) tells us that Zedekiah thought the
prophecy of Ezekiel in the thirteenth verse inconsistent with
that of Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 34:3,)
and resolved to believe neither. Both, however, were literary
fulfilled; and the event convinced him that they were not
irreconcilable. Thus, blinded by infidelity, sinners rush on to
that detruction against which they are sufficiently warned.
