Ezekiel 11:7

Eze 11:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they [are] the flesh, and this [city is] the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

Ver. 7. Your slain. ] Whether ye have slain them outright, or have laid them bleeding and dying by your oppressions; for a poor man’s livelihood is his life. Mark 12:44 Luk 8:43 He is in his house like a snail in his shell, crush that, and you kill him.

And this city is the caldron. ] a Thus their own words, spoken in mockery, are wittily retorted upon them, and driven back again down their throats as it were.

But I will bring you forth out of the midst of it. ] As rotten flesh, to be cast out; or as filthy scum, to boil over.
