5 Then the Ruach Adonai fell upon me and said to me, “Speak! Thus Adonai says: So you are thinking, house of Israel—for I know the thoughts that come into your mind.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city and you filled the streets with corpses.”
7 Therefore, thus says Adonai Elohim, “Your corpses you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat and this city is the cooking pot! But I will bring you out of it.
8 You feared the sword, so I will bring the sword against you.” It is a declaration of Adonai Elohim.
9 “I will bring you out of the midst of it, give you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. So you will know that I am Adonai.
11 This city will not be your cooking pot nor will you be the meat in the midst of it—I will judge you at Israel’s border.
