⁵And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.

⁶You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, all this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof.

⁸You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God.

⁹And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you.

¹⁰You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

¹¹This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel.

¹²And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my commandments, and have not done my judgments, but you have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you.
