10Say you to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.
12The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
13My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16But 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 where they come; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
