2. He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city,
3. who say, 'The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot and we are the flesh.'
4. Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!"
5. Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, 'Thus says the Lord, "So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.
6. You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with them."
7. Therefore, thus says the Lord God, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it.
8. You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you," the Lord God declares.
