Ezekiel 11:7
Verse 7 of 25. The 11th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.
3who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
5The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
7“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “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.
8You 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.
10You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11This 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.
