4For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man.
5And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.
6You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.
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.
