And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.
2. And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,
3. Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.
