Ezekiel 11:1-4

1A wind lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple that faces the east. There, at the entrance of the gate, I noticed twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people.

2The Lord said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city.

3They say, ‘The time is not near to build houses; the city is a cooking pot and we are the meat in it.’

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