In context
1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
2 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
3 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
