Context of Ezekiel 11:8
6You have killed many people in this city. The streets are full of the dead bodies of people that you have killed.” 7So this is what the Almighty Lord says: “The dead bodies that you have put in this city are the meat. And the city is the pot to cook them in. But as for you, I will remove you from it! You are afraid that an enemy will attack you. So I will bring an army to attack you.” That is what the Almighty Lord says. 9“I will remove you from this city. I will put you under the power of a foreign army. I will use them to punish you. 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.
