The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
Reciprocal: 2 Kings 13:18 - Smite Jeremiah 27:2 - put Ezekiel 12:9 - the rebellious Ezekiel 12:25 - O rebellious

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
prepare: Ezekiel 12:10-12, Ezekiel 4:1-17, Jeremiah 13:1-11, Jeremiah 18:2-12, Jeremiah 19:1-15, Jeremiah 27:2
stuff: or, instruments, By stuff our translators meant furniture or goods, as the word frequently denotes in our early writers; but the original, keley has not only this sense - as in Ezekiel 12:4, but is also used for any kind of utensils or instruments whatever; and here probably denotes carriages, or other means for removing goods. This was intended to signify that the captivity was at hand.

6.
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
thou shalt: This intimated that Zedekiah should steal out of the city in the twilight, carrying on his shoulders some of his property, with his head covered, not only as in distress but to escape detection. These prophecies, which were accurately fulfilled, are supposed to have been delivered in the sixth year of Zedekiah, five years before the taking of Jerusalem.
cover: 1 Samuel 28:8, 2 Samuel 15:30, Job 24:17

And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
I did so: Ezekiel 2:8, Ezekiel 24:18, Ezekiel 37:7, Ezekiel 37:10, Jeremiah 32:8-12, Matthew 21:6, Matthew 21:7, Mark 14:16, John 2:5-8, John 15:14, Acts 26:19

And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

My net also will I spread upon 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.
My net: This was to intimate, that though he escaped out of the city, the Chaldeans should overtake him, and carry him to Babylon. Jeremiah had predicted that his "eyes should see the eyes of the king of Babylon," and here Ezekiel foretold that he should not see Babylon, though he should die there; and Josephus says that he thought the two prophecies so inconsistent with each other, that he believed neither; yet both were exactly fulfilled, and the enigma of Ezekiel explained, when Zedekiah was brought to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah, where he had his eyes put out, and was then carried to Babylon, and there died.
