1. Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looks eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2. Then said he unto me,
3. Who say, It is not near for us to build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
4. Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5. And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me,
6. You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
