7. I did these things as I was commanded. In the daytime I brought what I had packed as if I were being taken away captive. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands. I brought my things out in the dark and carried them on my shoulders as the people watched.
8. Then in the morning the Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
9. “Human, didn’t Israel, who refuses to obey, ask you, ‘What are you doing?’
10. “Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: This message is about the king in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who live there.’
11. Say, ‘I am a sign to you.’“The same things I have done will be done to the people in Jerusalem. They will be taken away from their country as captives.
