Ezekiel 11:3-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

8. You have dread the sword, and so I will lead the sword over you, says the Lord God.

9. And I will cast you out of its midst, and I will give you over to the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments among you.

10. You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
