Ezekiel 11:1-4

1Then a spirit lifted me up and took me to the east gate of the Lord's temple. When I was there, near the entrance of the gate, I could see 25 men. Azzur's son Jaazaniah and Benaiah's son Pelatiah were among them. They were leaders of the people.

2The Lord said to me. ‘Son of man, these are the men who decide to do evil things in this city. They also give wicked advice to the people.

3They say, “It is not the right time now to build houses. This city is like a pot to cook meat on a fire. We are like the meat in that pot.”

4Son of man, you must speak my message to warn them.’
