2 The Lord said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plan evil and give wicked advice in this city.
3 They are saying, ‘Isn’t the time near to build houses? The city is the pot, and we are the meat.’
4 Therefore, prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man! ”
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and He told me, “You are to say: This is what the Lord says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with the dead.
7 “Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: The slain you have put within it are the meat, and the city is the pot, but I will remove you from it.
8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
