1. Then the Ruach lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of Adonai’s House, facing east. Behold, at the door of the gate, were 25 men. I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2. He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men that devise sin and give wicked counsel in this city,
3. who say, ‘This is not the time to build houses! This city is the cooking pot and we are the meat!’
4. Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.”
