9 And I will cast you out of its midst, and I will give you over to the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments among you.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
11 This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not be like meat in its midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.
12 And you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my precepts, and you have not accomplished my judgments. Instead, you have acted in accord with the judgments of the Gentiles, who are all around you."
