Ezekiel 12:3

Signs of the Coming Captivity

2“Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.3Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.4Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
