Ezekiel 11:3–12

³who are saying, It is not near—to build houses, it is the pot, and we the flesh. ⁴Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.’ ⁵And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, ‘Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known. ⁶Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded. ⁷Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They are the flesh, and it is the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst. ⁸A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. ⁹And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments. ¹⁰By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I am Jehovah. ¹¹It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you. ¹²And ye have known that I am Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you—ye have done!’
