Ezekiel 12 – Studienbibel

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, ŷou live in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not, which have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.

3 And ŷou, son of man, prepare ŷou a captive’s baggage, and go captive by day in their sight; and ŷou will go captive from ŷour place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

4 And bring forth ŷour baggage by day in their sight, as a captive’s baggage, and ŷou ŷourself, go forth at even in their sight as they that go forth into captivity.

5 Dig ŷou through the wall in their sight, and carry out by it.

6 In their sight shall ŷou bear it upon ŷour shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; ŷou shall cover ŷour face, and ŷou shall not see the ground: for I have appointed ŷou for a sign unto the house of Israel.

7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as a captive’s baggage, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder, in their sight.

8 And in the morning the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto ŷou, What do ŷou?

10 Say unto them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

11 Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done unto them: they will go into exile, into captivity.

12 And the prince that is among them will bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and will go forth; they will dig through the wall to carry out by it; he will cover his face, that he see not the land with his eyes.

13 And I will spread my net upon him, and he will be taken in my trap; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he will not see it, and there will he die.

14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.

15 And they will know that I am Jehovah when I will scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries.

16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations to where they will come; and they will know that I am Jehovah.

17 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

18 Son of man, eat ŷour bread with quaking, and drink ŷour water with trembling and with anxiety;

19 and say unto the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They will eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with astonishment, because her land will be left desolate of all that is in it, for the violence of all them that live in it.

20 And the cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation; and you will know that I am Jehovah.

21 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

22 Son of man, what is that proverb which you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days will be prolonged, and every vision fails?

23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the accomplishment of every vision.

24 For there will be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.

25 For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I will speak will be performed, it will be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word and will perform it, says the Lord Jehovah.

26 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days, and he prophesies of times that are far off.

28 Therefore say unto them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: There will none of my words be deferred any more, but the word that I have spoken will be done, says the Lord Jehovah.
