4 So prophesy against them. Prophesy, human being.”
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord entered me. He told me to say: “This is what the Lord says: You have said these things, people of Israel. But I know what is going through your mind.
6 You have killed many people in this city. You have filled its streets with their bodies.
7 “So this is what the Lord God says: Those people you have killed and left in the middle of the city are like the best meat. And this city is like the cooking pot. But I will force you out of the city.
8 You have feared the sword. But I will bring a sword against you, says the Lord God.
9 I will force you out of the city. I will hand you over to strangers. I will surely punish you.
10 You will die by the sword. I will punish you at the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
