Ezekiel 11:4-12

4Therefore, 1prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man!”

5Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, “Say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “This is how you think, house of Israel, for 2I know 3your 4thoughts. 6You have 5multiplied your slain in this city, and filled its streets with 6them.” 7Therefore, this is what the Lord 7God says: “Your 8slain whom you have laid in the midst of 9the city are the meat and this city is the pot; but 10I will 11bring you out of it. 8You have 12feared a sword; so I will 13bring a sword upon you,” the Lord God declares. 9“And I will bring you out of the midst of 14the city, and hand you over to 15strangers, and 16execute judgments against you. 10You will 17fall by the sword. I will judge you to the 18border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the Lord. 11This city will 19not be a pot for you, nor will you be meat in the midst of it; I will judge you to the border of Israel. 12So you will know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in My statutes, nor have you 20executed My ordinances, but you have acted in accordance with the ordinances of the 21nations around you.”’”
