And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people. Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town: read more. Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh. For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man. And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me. You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men. For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it. You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord. I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you. You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain that I am the Lord. This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel; And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about you. Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

1. 1Ch 3:21.
2. 1Ch 4:42.
3. Ne 10:22.
4. One of the 25 princes; ringleader of the scorners "devising mischief." Like Ananias (Ac 5:5) stricken dead; an earnest of the destruction of the rest, as Ezekiel foretold (Eze 11:1-13). The prophet fell on his face thereupon saying, "Ah! Lord God! wilt Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" The people regarded Pelatiah as a mainstay of the city. His name suggested hope, from paalat "to escape," or Yah pileet, "God delivers." Is that hope to be disappointed? asks Ezekiel; is his death a token that all, even the remnant, shall be destroyed?
