Then you will know that I am the Lord. 11This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not be meat within it; I will judge you at the border of Israel.

Then I threw myself face down and cried out with a loud voice, “Alas, sovereign Lord! You are completely wiping out the remnant of Israel!” 14Then the word of the Lord came to me:
