Ezekiel 11:12

Judgment On Evil Rulers

¹¹ This city will not protect you the way a cooking pot protects the meat in it. I will punish you wherever you may be in the land of Israel. ¹² Thus you will know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in My statutes nor have you executed My ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.”’” ¹³ It happened while I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said: Alas, O Lord Jehovah! Will you bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?

I Am the Lord
