1
Moreover the Spirit took me up, and brought me to the front gate of the house of the Lord, that looks eastward: and behold at the entrance of the gate were about five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jechonias the son of Ezer, and Phaltias the son of Banaeas, the leaders of the people.
2
And the Lord said to me, Son of man, these are the men that devise vanities, and take evil counsel in this city:
3
who say, Have not the houses been newly built? This is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
4
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
5
And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, say; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: and I know the devices of your spirit.
