Ezekiel 11:1-4

1Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the Lord’s house, which faced eastward. And behold, at the entrance of the gate there were twenty-five men; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

2Then the Spirit said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise evil and give wicked advice in this city,

3who say, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? This city is [secure just like] the pot and we are the meat [in it].’

4Therefore, prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man!”
