‏ Ezekiel 12:8-16

v. 8–16: God explains the meaning of the sign. The prince in Jerusalem (King Zedekiah) will try to escape at night, but he will be captured. His eyes will be put out, and he will be taken to Babylon, where he will die. The people will be scattered, but through their suffering, they will come to know that the Lord is God. God’s purpose in allowing this judgment is not only to punish, but also to teach the people who He is and to bring them to repentance (Ezekiel 12:17-20 a).
