5. The Lord's Spirit took control of me and told me to tell these leaders:I, the Lord God, know what you leaders are saying.
6. You have murdered so many people that the city is filled with dead bodies!
7. This city is indeed a cooking pot, but the bodies of those you killed are the meat. And so I will force you to leave Jerusalem,

10. You will be killed in your own country, but not before you realize that I, the Lord, have done these things.
11. You leaders claim to be meat in a cooking pot, but you won't be protected by this city. No, you will die at the border of Israel.
