1 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me through the east gate of the Lord’s house, which looks eastward; and behold at the entrance of the gate twenty-five men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 who say, It is not near; let us build houses; these shall be the caldron, and we the flesh.
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
