* And the Spirit lifted me up , and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward , and lo ! in the opening of the gate , twenty-five men , and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah princes of the people . * Then said he unto me , Son of man , These , are the men who are devising iniquity , and who are counselling wicked counsel in this city ; * who are saying , Not near ! let us build houses , It , is the caldron , and , we , are the flesh ! * Therefore , prophesy against them , prophesy . Son of man . * Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh , and he said unto me Say Thus , saith Yahweh , Thus have ye said O house of Israel , Yea the things that come up on your spirit , know every one . * Ye have multiplied your slain in this city ,- And have fled her streets with slain . * Therefore Thus , saith My Lord Yahweh , Your Main . whom ye have laid in her midst , They are the flesh , and She is the caldron , when ye are taken out of her midst . * A sword , have ye feared , And a sword , will I bring in upon you , Declareth My Lord Yahweh . * So will I take you forth out of her midst , and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners , and will execute upon you judgments . * By the sword , shah ye fall , Upon the boundary of Israel , will I judge you , So shall , ye know that a Yahweh . * This city shall not serve you for a caldron , Neither shall , ye , serve in the midst thereof for flesh , Near the boundary of Israel , will I judge you , * So hat ye now that I am Yahweh , In whose statutes , ye have not walked And whose appointments , ye have not executed , But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you , have ye done . * And it came to pass as I prophesied , that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died , so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said Alas ! My Lord Yahweh ! A full end , art thou making of the remnant of Israel ? * Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying : * Son of man Thine own brethren , thine own brethren the men of thy kindred , even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said , Get you far away from Yahweh , To us , it is that the land , hath been given , for a possession !
