Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, 'This is what the LORD says: "This is how you think, house of Israel, for ^(C1)I know ^(F1)your ^(C2)thoughts.

"You have ^(C1)multiplied your slain in this city, and filled its streets with ^(F1)them."

+'Therefore, this is what the Lord ^(F1)GOD says: "Your ^(C1)slain whom you have laid in the midst of ^(F2)the city are the meat and this city is the pot; but ^(F3)I will ^(C2)bring you out of it.

"You have ^(C1)feared a sword; so I will ^(C2)bring a sword upon you," the Lord GOD declares.

"And I will bring you out of the midst of ^(F1)the city, and hand you over to ^(C1)strangers, and ^(C2)execute judgments against you.

"You will ^(C1)fall by the sword. I will judge you to the ^(C2)border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the LORD.

"This city will ^(C1)not be a pot for you, nor will you be meat in the midst of it; I will judge you to the border of Israel.

"So you will know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes, nor have you ^(C1)executed My ordinances, but you have acted in accordance with the ordinances of the ^(C2)nations around you."'"
