3 These men say, ‘We will be building our houses again very soon. We are as safe in this city as meat in a pot!’
4 So you must speak to the people for me. Son of man, prophesy against the people.”
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me. He said to me, “Tell them that this is what the Lord said: House of Israel, you are planning big things. But I know what you are thinking.
6 You have killed many people in this city. You have filled the streets with dead bodies.
7 Now, the Lord GOD says this: ‘The dead bodies are the meat, and the city is the pot. But someone will come and take you out of this safe pot.
8 You are afraid of the sword, but I am bringing the sword against you!’” This is what the Lord GOD said.
9 He also said, “I will take you out of this city and give you to strangers. I will punish you.
