For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man. And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me. You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men. For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it. You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord. I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you. You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain that I am the Lord. This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel; And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about you. Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?
