2 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This city is the cauldron, and we are the flesh.’
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man!”
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, Say, Thus says the Lord: Thus you have said, O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled the streets with them.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh and this city is the cauldron. But I will bring you out of the midst of it.
8 You have feared the sword, so I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord God.
