Contextual Overview

¹ And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people. ² And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city, ³ Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh. ⁴ Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man. ⁵ And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart. ⁶ You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain. ⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, all this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof. ⁸ You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God. ⁹ And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you. ¹⁰ You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This [city] shall not be your cauldron,.... It was one, as in

Ezekiel 11:7; but not theirs; it was the cauldron for the slain, for the dead, but not the living:

neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it; or, "and ye shall be" g or, "but ye shall be"; the negative is understood, and rightly supplied by us; though the Targum renders it without it,

"but ye shall be in the midst of it, as flesh that is boiled in the midst of a pot:''

[but] I will judge you in the border of Israel; this is repeated, that they might take notice of it, and to assure them that so it would be.
