Ezekiel 11:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

11 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.

² And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,

³ Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.
