1 Again, 😇, [back in Jerusalem]YHVH's Word comes [alive in] me.
2*[YAH] says, “‘Son of Adam,’ you live in the middle of a rebel pack. They have eyes to see. Yet [they] see nothing. They have ears to hear. Yet they hear nothing, because they're a [toxic,] bitter brood.
3So, you ‘son of Adam,’ prepare your supplies for [mock] exile. During the day, in the sight of [the Israelis], move out [of your house] to another place they can see. Maybe they'll consider, even though they're a rebellious breed. More prophetic performance-art.
4In the daylight, with the [Israelis] watching, haul your possessions out [of your dwelling] like you're moving. Then exit the city while the [Israelis] watch. [Stumble, jolt and lurch in pain] like slave [drivers] are [whipping] you out [of town in chains]. Performance-missions.
5Dig [a hole] through the [city] wall while the [brutes] watch. Then carry out [your belongings] through [the hole]. Education through action.
6While [your neighbors] watch, carry your pack out on your shoulders. Lug your stuff out [of town] at twilight. And cover your face so you can't see the land [you're leaving]. I'm making you into a [living] symbol [of the persecution coming to] the [wicked] House of Israel.”
7 So I execute all [YAH's] commands, 😇. In the daylight, I haul out my stuff ([bare-essential] possessions slaves typically [carry into exile]). Then at twilight I dig through the [city] wall with my hand[s]. As night falls, I lug out [more belongings]. I carry [bags] on my shoulders. [My neighbors] watch, [jeering].
8 Then in the morning YHVH's Word comes [alive] in me: Revelation follows obedience.
9“‘Son of Adam,’ the house of Israel, that pack of rebels, keep asking you, ‘What are you doing?’ Real Biblical communication provokes intense curiosity, not boredom.
10You answer them, ‘AdonaiYHVH says, “This prophetic [hauling exhibition] is [a prefiguration] of [the exile] of [king] Zedekiah, the [evil] leader of Jerusalem, and the whole ‘house’ of Israel with him.’ lit: "this grief concerns the chief."
11Say, ‘I'm your sign. As I [move in haste, soldiers] advance to make the [people of Jerusalem] move [from their homeland] into slavery.’
12Even [Israel's top] leader soon carries his slave-load on his shoulder in the twilight. They come to sneak out [of Jerusalem] by digging a [hole] through the wall so they can carry out [their valuables]. They cover their faces, [too sad] to see the [promised] land [they're forever leaving behind].
13I [YHVH] soon spread my net over [Judea's evil leader]. My snare traps him. I haul him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans. His [poked-out eyes] never get to see [Babylon], though he dies there. Babylon's emperor blinds Zedekiah. 2 Ki 25:7. Jer 39:7.
14I scatter to every wind everyone around [the evil leader], including all his troops. They [promise in vain] to help him. I draw out [my] sword. [I] chase the [war-criminals to their deaths].
15At last, 😇, the [Israelis] realize that I am YHVH{The-Eternal-Creator}, when I scatter them among the beast-nations. I disperse them in [earth's] countries.
16But after the sword, the famine, and the plague [decimate Israel], I leave a few [Israeli] men [alive,] so that among the beast-nations where they go, the [survivors] can confess all their abominations, once they realize I am YHVH{Living-Omnipresence}.”
17 Later, YHVH's word again comes [alive in] me, 😇.
18[YAH] says, “‘Son of Adam,’ as you eat your food [in public,] shake [like you're terrified]. Drink your water with anxious, trembling [hands]. Prophetic drama.
19*And say to the people of the land, ‘AdonaiYHVH warns the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel: [you] come to eat your bread in anxiety. You drink your water in horror, seeing your land and everything in it desolated [to punish] the violence of all its inhabitants.
20[Soldiers] come to waste your populous cities. [Marauders] desolate your farmland. Then you grasp that I am YHVH{Everywhere-All-The-Time}.’”
21 Again, 😇, the word of YHVH comes [alive in] me.
22[YAH] says, “‘Son of Adam,’ remember that proverb that you [hear] in the land of Israel? [People] whine, ‘The days churn on and on [monotonously], proving every [prophetic] vision a failure.’
23In response, tell the [Israelis], ‘AdonaiYHVH says, ‘I soon put an end to that proverb. People stop quoting that saying in Israel. Warn them, “The days are at hand when [YAH] effects every vision [he ever inspired].’’
24I stop the destructive [false] visions. [I silence the] smooth-talking [lying] divination in the house of Israel.
25For I am YHVH{The-Eternal}. I speak, and the prediction I speak happens. I'm not waiting anymore. In your days, you pack of rebels, I come to utter and execute your [death] sentence[s],” warns AdonaiYHVH.
27[YAH] says, “‘Son of Adam,’ look: people in the house of Israel keep saying, ‘The vision [Ezekiel] sees regards days far in the future. He prophesies of faraway times.’
28So say to these [Israelis], ‘AdonaiYHVH warns, “None of my predictions [about you] will wait [for fulfillment]. [I] execute every word I foretell,” says AdonaiYHVH.’”
