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.

11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I must judge you in the border of Israel:

13 And it came to pass, as I was prophesying that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face and cried with a loud voice and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
