Context of Ezekiel 11:8
6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the corpses [of righteous men].” 7Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “Your dead whom you have laid in the midst of your city are the meat and this city is the pot; but I shall force you out of [the security of] it. You have feared the sword; so I will bring a sword upon you,” says the Lord God. 9“And I will bring you out of the midst of the city and hand you over to strangers and execute judgment against you. 10You will fall by the sword; I will judge and punish you [in front of your neighbors] at the border of [the land of] Israel; and you will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.
