* And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me through the east gate of the LORD 'S house , which looks eastward ; and behold at the entrance of the gate twenty-five men ; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah , princes of the people . * Then said he unto me , Son of man , these [are ] the men that devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city : * who say , [It is ] not near ; let us build houses ; these [shall be ] the caldron , and we the flesh . * Therefore prophesy against them , prophesy , O son of man . * And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and said unto me , Say : Thus hath the LORD said , Thus have ye said , O house of Israel : for I have understood the things that come up into your spirit . * Ye have multiplied your slain in this city , and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain . * Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said ; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it , they [are ] the flesh , and it [is ] the caldron ; but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it . * Ye have feared the sword , and I will bring a sword upon you , said the Lord GOD . * And I will bring you out of the midst thereof and deliver you into the hands of strangers and will execute judgments in you . * Ye shall fall by the sword ; I will judge you in the border of Israel ; and ye shall know that I [am ] the LORD . * This [city ] shall not be your caldron , neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof ; [but ] I must judge you in the border of Israel : * And ye shall know that I [am ] the LORD ; for ye have not walked in my statutes , neither have ye acted [according to ] my judgments , but according to the judgments of the Gentiles that [are ] round about you . * And it came to pass , as I was prophesying that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died . Then I fell down upon my face and cried with a loud voice and said , Ah Lord GOD ! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel ? * And the word of the LORD came unto me , saying , * Son of man , thy brethren , [even ] thy brethren , the men of thy kindred , and all the house of Israel together , [are ] they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said , Get you far from the LORD ; unto us is this land given in possession .
