5 The spirit of the Lord took control of me, and the Lord told me to give the people this message: “People of Israel, I know what you are saying and what you are planning.
6 You have murdered so many people here in the city that the streets are full of corpses.
7 “So this is what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to you. This city is a cooking pot all right, but what is the meat? The corpses of those you have killed! You will not be here—I will throw you out of the city!
8 Are you afraid of swords? I will bring soldiers with swords to attack you.
9 I will take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners. I have sentenced you to death,
10 and you will be killed in battle in your own country. Then everyone will know that I am the Lord.
