Ezekiel 11:11

11 This city will not protect you the way a pot protects the meat in it. I will punish you wherever you may be in the land of Israel.

Ezekiel 11:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:11

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"

---

FOOTNOTES:

F7 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.
F7 (wyht Mtaw) "et vos critis", Montanus, Cocceius.

Ezekiel 11:11 In-Context

9 I will take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners. I have sentenced you to death,

10 and you will be killed in battle in your own country. Then everyone will know that I am the Lord.

11 This city will not protect you the way a pot protects the meat in it. I will punish you wherever you may be in the land of Israel.

12 You will know that I am the Lord and that while you were keeping the laws of the neighboring nations, you were breaking [my ]laws and disobeying [my ]commands."

13 While I was prophesying, Pelatiah dropped dead. I threw myself face downward on the ground and shouted, "No, Sovereign Lord! Are you going to kill everyone left in Israel?"
