6. You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled the streets with them.
7. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh and this city is the cauldron. But I will bring you out of the midst of it.
8. You have feared the sword, so I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord God.
9. I will bring you out of the midst of the city and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you.
10. You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
11. This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you in the border of Israel.
12. Thus you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in My statutes, or executed My judgments, but have done after the customs of the nations all around you.
13. Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
