5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me to say: ‘This is what the Lord says: that is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.
6 You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
7 ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: the bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.
8 You fear the sword, and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.
9 I will drive you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners and inflict punishment on you.
10 You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on 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, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.
