This verse predicts that Ezekiel will experience physical restraint. Others will bind him with bands or cords, keeping him prisoner in his home. He will not be free to move among the exiles as other people do.
This binding is a judgment on the people and a sign of the greater bondage coming upon Israel. Ezekiel's physical confinement becomes a living parable of Israel's spiritual and political captivity under judgment.
