Ezekiel 11:10
8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
12 Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
