3. They say, ‘It is almost time for us to build houses. This city is like a cooking pot. And we are like the best meat.’
4. So prophesy against them. Prophesy, human being.”
5. Then the Spirit of the Lord entered me. He told me to say: “This is what the Lord says: You have said these things, people of Israel. But I know what is going through your mind.
6. You have killed many people in this city. You have filled its streets with their bodies.
7. “So this is what the Lord God says: Those people you have killed and left in the middle of the city are like the best meat. And this city is like the cooking pot. But I will force you out of the city.
8. You have feared the sword. But I will bring a sword against you, says the Lord God.
9. I will force you out of the city. I will hand you over to strangers. I will surely punish you.
