Vision of Israel’s Corrupt Leaders
11 The Spirit then lifted me up c and brought me to the eastern gate of the Lord’s house, which faces east, and at the gate’s entrance were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people. 2 The Lord said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plan evil d and give wicked advice in this city. 3 They are saying, ‘Isn’t the time near to build houses? e f The city is the pot, g and we are the meat.’ 4 Therefore, prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and He told me, “You are to say: This is what the Lord says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind. h 6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, i filling its streets with the dead.
7 “Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: The slain you have put within it are the meat, j and the city is the pot, but I k will remove you from it. l 8 You fear the sword, m so I will bring the sword against you.” n This is the declaration of the Lord God. 9 “I will bring you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners; I will execute judgments against you. o 10 You will fall by the sword, p and I will judge you at the border of Israel. q Then you will know that I am * Yahweh. 11 The city will not be a pot for you, r and you will not be the meat within it. I will judge you at the border of Israel, 12 so you will know that I am Yahweh, whose statutes you have not followed and whose ordinances you have not practiced. Instead, you have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.” s
13 Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. t Then I fell facedown and cried out with a loud voice: “Oh, Lord God! u Will You bring to an end the remnant of Israel?”
