^11 (A)This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. I will judge you at the border of Israel,

^3 (A)who say, ^(B)‘The time is not near^[a] to build houses. ^(C)This city is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’

⁷ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, ^(B)they are the meat, and ^(C)this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it. ^8 (D)You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, declares the Lord God. ⁹ And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and ^(E)give you into the hands of foreigners, and ^(F)execute judgments upon you. ^10 (G)You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel, ^(H)and you shall know that I am the Lord.
