The Announcement Of The Imminent Coming Of The Exile

5 Dig through the wall, that they may see: and bear through it the same thing that thou tookest up in their sight. 6 As for thyself, thou shalt go forth in the dark. Hide thy face that thou see not the earth, for I have made thee a show-token unto the house of Israel." 7 Now as the Lord commanded me, so I did: the gear that I had made ready, brought I out by day. At even I brake down a hole through the wall with my hand: and when it was dark, I took the gear upon my shoulders and bare them out in their sight.
