Ezekiel 11:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ They say, ‘The time has not yet come to build houses. This city is the cooking pot and we are the meat.’ ⁴ Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!”

⁵ Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he instructed me to say: Thus says the Lord. This is what you are saying to yourselves, house of Israel, and I am well aware of what you are plotting.
