2 And he said to me: "Son of man, these are men who devise iniquity. And they offer a wicked counsel in this city,
3 saying: 'Was it so long ago that houses were being built? This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.'
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: Thus says the Lord: So have you spoken, O house of Israel. And I know the thoughts of your heart.
6 You have killed very many in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
7 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have placed in its midst, these are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. And I will draw you out of its midst.
8 You have dread the sword, and so I will lead the sword over you, says the Lord God.
