New Revised Standard NRS

1 The spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of the Lord, which faces east. There, at the entrance of the gateway, were twenty-five men; among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people.

2 He said to me, "Mortal, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city;

3 they say, "The time is not near to build houses; this city is the pot, and we are the meat.'

4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O mortal."

5 Then the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me, "Say, Thus says the Lord: This is what you think, O house of Israel; I know the things that come into your mind.

6 You have killed many in this city, and have filled its streets with the slain.
