Context of Ezekiel 11:12

10Enemy soldiers will use their swords to kill you. I will punish you in your own country. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 11This city will not be like a pot where you can be safe. You will not be like the meat in that pot. I will punish you while you are still inside Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord. You have not obeyed my rules or my laws. Instead, you have lived in the same wicked way as the nations around you.” ’ 13While I was speaking the Lord's message, Benaiah's son Pelatiah died. Then I bent down low with my face towards the ground. I shouted, ‘Almighty Lord, do not do this! You will completely destroy all Israel's people who remain!’ 14Then the Lord gave this message to me:
