Judgment on Jerusalem's Wicked Leaders
Ezekiel 11:1-12
1
Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2
And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;
3
that say, The time is not near to build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
4
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5
And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said unto me, Speak, Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
8
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9
And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
11
This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
12
and ye shall know that I am Jehovah: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither have ye executed mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
