7For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.
8You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord.
9I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you.
10You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
11This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel;
12And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about you.
13Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?
