"You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men."
— Ezekiel 11:6, Bible in Basic English
“Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.”
Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.
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.
