Ezekiel 11:1-3

American Standard Version

11 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, ^[a]The time is not near to build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
