^11 (A)This city shall not be your ^[a]caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel.

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

⁷ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(A)“Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; ^(B)but I shall bring you out of the midst of it. ⁸ You have ^(C)feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,” says the Lord God. ⁹ “And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and ^(D)execute judgments on you. ^10 (E)You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at ^(F)the border of Israel. ^(G)Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
