Yehezkiel 11:7

11:7 Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘The corpses you have dumped ¹  in the midst of the city ²  are the meat, and this city ³  is the cooking pot, but I will take you out of it. ⁴ 

Yehezkiel 11:11

11:11 This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not ⁵  be meat within it; I will judge you at the border of Israel.

Yehezkiel 12:22

12:22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel, ‘The days pass slowly, and every vision fails’?

Yehezkiel 12:27

12:27 “Take note, son of man, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for distant days; he is prophesying about the far future.’

Mikha 3:3

3:3 You ⁶  devour my people’s flesh,

strip off their skin,

and crush their bones.

You chop them up like flesh in a pot ⁷  –

like meat in a kettle.

[11:7]  ¹ tn Heb “placed.”

[11:7]  ² tn Heb “in its midst.”

[11:7]  ³ tn Heb “she/it.” See v. 3.

[11:7]  ⁴ tc Many of the versions read “I will bring you out” (active) rather than “he brought out” (the reading of MT).

[11:11]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text does not have the negative particle, but it is implied. The negative particle in the previous line does double duty here.

[3:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “who.”

[3:3]  ⁷ tc The MT reads “and they chop up as in a pot.” The translation assumes an emendation of כַּאֲשֶׁר (ka’asher, “as”) to כִּשְׁאֵר (kish’er, “like flesh”).
