Ezekiel 11:1

Vision of Israel's Corrupt Leaders

1 The Spirit then lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the Lord's house, which faces east, and at the gate's entrance were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

Ezekiel 11:1 In-Context

1 The Spirit then lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the Lord's house, which faces east, and at the gate's entrance were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2 The Lord said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who plan evil and give wicked advice in this city.
3 They are saying: Isn't the time near to build houses? The city is the pot, and we are the meat.
4 Therefore, prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!"
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and He told me, "You are to say: This is what the Lord says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind.
