Ezekiel 12:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² The leader of Jerusalem will lift his own bag to his shoulders at sunset and leave through a hole that the others have dug in the wall of his house. He will cover his face, so he can't see the land he is leaving. ^13 (A) The Lord will spread out a net and trap him as he leaves Jerusalem. He will then be led away to the city of Babylon, but will never see that place,^[a] even though he will die there. ¹⁴ His own officials and troops will scatter in every direction, and the Lord will track them down and put them to death.
