Ezekiel12:6

Ver. 6. In their ſight ſhalt thou bear it upon thy ſhoulders] To ſhew that King Zedekiah himſelf ſhould carry out ſome of his moſt precious things upon his ſhoulders when he fled: See ver. 12. This was a baſe thing for a King to do. King Alphonſus indeed is renouned for drawing a poor periſhing man out of a ditch, and bearing him on his back to a place of relief.

Thou ſhalt cover thy face] In token that Zedekiah ſhould be made blind. A juſt hand of God upon him who had eyes and ſaw not, ver. 2. like as it was upon Muleaſſes King of Tunis, who had thoſe eyes of his digd out which had been inſets of luſt, and which he oft covered with his hat puld over them, that he might liſten the better to wanton ditties and profane Muſick.

For I have ſet thee for a ſign] Portentum, a ſign portending their going into Captivity.
