The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of the LORD, which faces east. And behold, at the entrance of the gateway there were twenty-five men. And I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

5 And the spirit of Jehovah will fall upon me, and he will say to me, Say, Thus said Jehovah; Thus ye said, O house of Israel: and the risings of your spirit, I knew it. And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and he said to me, “Say, Thus says the LORD: So you think, O house of Israel. For I know the things that come into your mind. Then the Spirit of the LORD came on me, and he told me to say: “This is what the LORD says: That is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.
6 Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, and ye filled its streets with the wounded. You have multiplied your slain in this city and have filled its streets with the slain. You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
7 For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded which ye set in her midst, they the flesh, and this the pot: and I brought you forth from its midst. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat, and this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it. “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.

Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 This shall not be to you for a pot, and ye shall not be in the midst of her for flesh; upon the bound of Israel will I judge you. This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. I will judge you at the border of Israel, This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.
12 And ye shall know That I am Jehovah: for in my laws ye went not, and my judgments ye did not; and according to the judgments of the nations round about you ye did. and you shall know that I am the LORD.

Then I fell down on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?” Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died.

16 For this, say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: If I put them far off among the nations, and if I scattered them in the lands, and I will be to them for a little holy place in the lands where they went there.

21 And to the heart going to the heart of their abominable things and their abominations, I gave their way upon their head, says the Lord Jehovah.
