New International Reader's Version

Ezekiel 11:3-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. They say, 'This is not the time to build houses. The city is like a cooking pot. And we are the meat.'

4. So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man."

5. Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me. He told me to tell them, "The Lord says, 'People of Israel, that is what you are saying. But I know what you are thinking.

6. You have killed many people in this city. In fact, you have filled its streets with dead bodies.'

7. "So the Lord and King says, 'The bodies you have thrown there are the meat. And the city is the cooking pot. But I will drive you out of it.
