This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:

This city'shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you in the border of Israel;

This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel.

This shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it: I will judge you in the borders of Israel;

It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.

This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the flesh in the middle thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:

This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel;

This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not be like meat in its midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.

Ipsa non erit vobis in ollam: et vos non eritis [235] in medio ejus in carnem: in termino Israel judicabo vos.

I will judge you in the border of Israel - Though Riblah was in Syria, yet it was on the very frontiers of Israel; and it was here that Zedekiah's sons were slain, and his own eyes put out.

This city shall not be your cauldron,.... It was one, as in Ezekiel 11:7; but not theirs; it was the cauldron for the slain, for the dead, but not the living:
neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it; or, "and ye shall be" (g) or, "but ye shall be"; the negative is understood, and rightly supplied by us; though the Targum renders it without it,
"but ye shall be in the midst of it, as flesh that is boiled in the midst of a pot:''
but I will judge you in the border of Israel; this is repeated, that they might take notice of it, and to assure them that so it would be.
(g) "et vos critis", Montanus, Cocceius.

(See on Ezekiel 11:3).

Your caldron - The place of your sufferings; greater are reserved for you in a strange land. Judge you - I will do more against you at Riblah, where the captive king had his children, and others with them, first murdered before his eyes, and then his own eyes put out; Riblah is called the border of Israel: for Syria was adjoining to Israel on the north, and Riblah was on the frontiers of Syria.
