Ezekiel 11:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 The city shall not be a pot for you, nor shall you be meat within it. At the borders of Israel I will judge you,(A) 12 so you shall know that I am the Lord, whose statutes you did not follow, whose ordinances you did not keep. Instead, you acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.
13 While I was prophesying, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, dropped dead. I fell down on my face and cried out in a loud voice: “Alas, Lord God! You are finishing off what remains of Israel!”[a](B)

- 11:13 In Ezekiel’s vision Pelatiah represents the people left in Jerusalem, “the remnant of Israel.” His sudden death in the vision, but not in reality, is a figure for the judgment described in vv. 8–10 and prompts Ezekiel’s anguished question about the survival of the people left in the land after the deportations in 597.
Ezekiel 11:11-13
New International Version
11 This city will not be a pot(A) for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. 12 And you will know that I am the Lord,(B) for you have not followed my decrees(C) or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.(D)”
13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah(E) son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! Will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?(F)”
