Ezekiel 11:3-11

3They say, ‘Haven’t our houses been recently rebuilt? This city is a pot, and we are the meat in it.’

4Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man.”

5Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me to say: “This is what the Lord says: That is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.

6You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

7“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.

8You fear the sword, and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.

9I will drive you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners and inflict punishment on you.

10You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

11This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.
