10You will be slaughtered all the way to the borders of Israel. I will execute judgment on you, and you will know that I am the Lord. 11No, this city will not be an iron pot for you, and you will not be like meat safe inside it.

Then I fell face down on the ground and cried out, “O Sovereign Lord, are you going to kill everyone in Israel?” 14Then this message came to me from the Lord:
