Ezekiel 11:1-3

New Century Version

Prophecies Against Evil Leaders

11 The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the front gate of the Temple of the Lord, which faces east. I saw twenty-five men where the gate opens, among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people. ² Then the Lord said to me, “Human, these are the men who plan evil and give wicked advice in this city of Jerusalem. ³ They say, ‘It is almost time for us to build houses. This city is like a cooking pot, and we are like the best meat.’
