5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me. He told me to tell them, "The Lord says, 'People of Israel, that is what you are saying. But I know what you are thinking.
6 You have killed many people in this city. In fact, you have filled its streets with dead bodies.'
7 "So the Lord and King says, 'The bodies you have thrown there are the meat. And the city is the cooking pot. But I will drive you out of it.
8 You are afraid of the swords of war. But I will bring them against you,' announces the Lord and King.
9 " 'I will drive you out of the city. I will hand you over to strangers. And I will punish you.
10 You will be killed with swords. I will judge you at the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
11 " 'This city will not be a pot for you. And you will not be the meat in it. I will judge you at the borders of Israel.
