1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 ^k“Son of man, you dwell in the midst of ^la rebellious house, ^mwho have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are ⁿa rebellious house. 3 As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself ^oan exile’s baggage, and go into exile by day ^pin their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place ^qin their sight. ^rPerhaps they will understand, though ^{▼▼Or will see that} they are a rebellious house.
