2. And he said to me: "Son of man, these are men who devise iniquity. And they offer a wicked counsel in this city,
3. saying: 'Was it so long ago that houses were being built? This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.'
4. Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."
5. And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me: "Speak: Thus says the Lord: So have you spoken, O house of Israel. And I know the thoughts of your heart.
6. You have killed very many in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
7. Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have placed in its midst, these are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. And I will draw you out of its midst.
