1Moreouer the Spirit lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lords house, which looketh Eastward: and behold at the doore of the gate fiue and twenty men; among whom I saw Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, Princes of the people. 2Then said he vnto me; Sonne of man, these are the men that deuise mischiefe, & giue wicked counsel in this city. 3Which say, It is not neere, let vs build houses: this citie is the caldron, and we be the flesh. 4¶ Therefore prophecie against them, prophecie, O sonne of man. 5And the Spirit of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, thus saith the Lord; Thus haue ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your minde, euery one of them.
