6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
7 “‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
12 You will know that I am the Lord, for you have not walked in my statutes, You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
