Ezekiel 12:10
Compare all
8 And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, athe rebellious house, said to you, b‘What are you doing?’  
10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “This aburden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are among them.” ’  
11 Say, a‘I am a sign to you. As I have done, so shall it be done to them; bthey shall be carried away into captivity.’  
12 And athe prince who is among them shall bear his belongings on his shoulder at twilight and go out. They shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it. He shall cover his face, so that he cannot see the ground with his eyes.  
13 I will also spread My anet over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. bI will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.  
14 aI will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and bI will draw out the sword after them.

Ezekiel 12:10

burden—that is, weighty oracle.

the prince—The very man Zedekiah, in whom they trust for safety, is to be the chief sufferer. JOSEPHUS [Antiquities, 10.7] reports that Ezekiel sent a copy of this prophecy to Zedekiah. As Jeremiah had sent a letter to the captives at the Chebar, which was the means of calling forth at first the agency of Ezekiel, so it was natural for Ezekiel to send a message to Jerusalem confirming the warnings of Jeremiah. The prince, however, fancying a contradiction between Ezekiel 12:13; "he shall not see Babylon," and Jeremiah 24:8-9, declaring he should be carried to Babylon, believed neither. Seeming discrepancies in Scripture on deeper search prove to be hidden harmonies.
