Ezekiel 11:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this have ye said, and I know that which riseth up of your minds.
6 Many have ye murdered in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye have slain, and have laid in the midst of it, they are [a]the flesh, and this city is the caldron, but I will bring you forth of the midst of it.

- Ezekiel 11:7 Contrary to their vain confidence he showeth in what sense the city is the caldron: that is, because of the dead bodies that have been murdered therein, and so lie as flesh in the caldron.

7 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot,(C) but I will drive you out of it.(D)
