Ezekiel 12:15-16
Ezekiel 12:15-16 American Standard Version (ASV)
And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.

Ezekiel 12:12-16 The Message (MSG)
“The prince will put his bundle on his shoulders in the dark and leave. He’ll dig through the wall of the house, covering his face so he won’t have to look at the land he’ll never see again. But I’ll make sure he gets caught and is taken to Babylon. Blinded, he’ll never see that land in which he’ll die. I’ll scatter to the four winds those who helped him escape, along with his troops, and many will die in battle. They’ll realize that I am GOD when I scatter them among foreign countries. “I’ll permit a few of them to escape the killing, starvation, and deadly sickness so that they can confess among the foreign countries all the disgusting obscenities they’ve been involved in. They will realize that I am GOD.” * * *
