Ezekiel 11:5-12

5Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me, “You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind.

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,

12so you will know that I am the Lord, whose statutes you have not followed and whose ordinances you have not practiced. Instead, you have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.’”
