3. Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.
4. Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man.
5. And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.
