The Spirit lifted me and took me to the east gate of Jehovah's Temple. It is the gate that faces east. Twenty-five men were at the entrance of the gate. I saw among them Azzur's son Jaazaniah and Benaiah's son Pelatiah. They were leaders of the people. Jehovah said to me: Son of man, these are the men who plan evil and give bad advice in this city (Jerusalem). They say: 'It is almost time to rebuild houses. This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.' read more.
So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man. Jehovah's Spirit came to me and told me to say: This is what Jehovah says: 'You are saying these things, nation of Israel. But I know what is going through your mind. You have killed many people in this city and have filled its streets with corpses.' I, the Lord Jehovah, say to you: 'This city is a cooking pot all right, but what is the meat? The corpses of those you have killed! You will not be here. I will throw you out of the city!' Are you afraid of swords? I will bring soldiers with swords to attack you,' is the utterance of Jehovah. I will take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners. I will execute judgments against you. You will be killed in battle in your own country. I will judge you on the border of Israel. Then everyone will know that I am Jehovah. This city will not protect you the way a cooking pot protects the meat in it. I will punish you wherever you may be in the land of Israel. You will know that I am Jehovah! While you were keeping the laws of the neighboring nations, you were breaking my laws and disobeying my commands.' It happened while I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said: Alas, O Lord Jehovah! Will you bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?
