Judgment On Evil Rulers

1 A wind lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord's temple that faces the east. There, at the entrance of the gate, I noticed twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. 2 The Lord said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city. 3 They say, 'The time is not near to build houses; the city is a cooking pot and we are the meat in it.'
