5. the Lord’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘the Lord says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6. You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
7. “‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8. You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
9. “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgements amongst you.
10. You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
11. This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
