6You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with them.

7“‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: The slain you have put within it are the meat, and the city is the pot, but I will take you out of it.

8You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you. This is the declaration of the Lord God.

9I will take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners; I will execute judgments against you.

10You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

11The city will not be a pot for you, and you will not be the meat within it. I will judge you at the border of Israel,
