Judgment On Evil Rulers

And behold, twenty-five men were at the opening of the gate; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people. 2 And He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city; 3 who say, It is not near; let us build houses; this city is the pot, and we are the flesh.
