Ezekiel 11:1-3

Common English Bible

11 A wind lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple. There at the entrance to the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw that two officials of the people, Jaazaniah, Azzur’s son, and Pelatiah, Benaiah’s son, were with them.

² He said to me: Human one, these men devise evil plans and give wicked advice in this city. ³ They are the ones who say, “The nearest relatives aren’t building houses.^[a] The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.”
