Ezekiel 11:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:9

And I will bring you out of the midst thereof
Jerusalem, the cauldron, as they said it was, and where they thought they should be safe; this is repeated, to express the certainty of it, and to excite their attention to it, and remove their vain confidence: and deliver you into the hands of strangers;
the Chaldeans: and will execute judgments among you;
punishments for sin, such as famine, pestilence, sword, and captivity.

Ezekiel 11:9 In-Context

7 "Therefore this is what God, the Master, says: 'The corpses that you've piled in the streets are the meat and this city is the soup pot, and you're not even in the pot! I'm throwing you out!
8 You fear war, but war is what you're going to get. I'm bringing war against you.
9 I'm throwing you out of this city, giving you over to foreigners, and punishing you good.
10 You'll be killed in battle. I'll carry out judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you'll realize that I am God.
11 This city will not be your soup pot and you won't be the choice pieces of meat in it either. Hardly. I will carry out judgment on you at the borders of Israel
