3 They are the ones who say, "The nearest relatives aren’t building houses. The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat."
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, human one, prophesy!
5 The Lord’s spirit took hold of me, and he said to me: Say, This is what the Lord God proclaims: So you have said, house of Israel! But I know what you really mean.
6 You continue to commit murder in this city, and you fill its streets with the slain.
7 Therefore, the Lord God proclaims: The city is the cooking pot, and the ones you have slain in it are the meat. But you will be taken out of it.
8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you. This is what the Lord God says!
9 I will lead you out of the city, hand you over to foreigners, and execute judgments against you.
