Ezekiel 11:4-12

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

5Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the Lord: “Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”

7Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; but I shall bring you out of the midst of it.

8You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,” says the Lord God.

9“And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments on you.

10You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

11This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel.

12And you shall know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you.” ’ ”
