4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!
5 And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, Speak. Say, Thus says the Lord: This is what you thought, O 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 your midst; they are the flesh and this city is the boiling pot, but you shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
8 You have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord God.
9 And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it and deliver you into the hands of foreigners and execute judgments among you.
10 You shall fall by the sword; I will judge and punish you [before your neighbors] at the border or outside the land of Israel, and you shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord.
