Ezekiel 11:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Judgment on Wicked Counselors

And behold, at the door of the gateway there were twenty-five men; and I saw among them Ja-azani′ah the son of Azzur, and Pelati′ah the son of Benai′ah, princes of the people. ² And he said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city; ³ who say, ‘The time is not near^[a] to build houses; this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.’
