Ezekiel 11:1-3
International Standard Version
The Vision of the Eastern Gate
11 The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east facing gate of the Lord’s Temple. At the entrance of the gate I saw 25 men. Included among them were Azzur’s son Jaazaniah and Benaiah’s son Pelatiah, who were princes of the people.
2 Then he told me, “Son of Man, these men are plotting evil and are giving wicked advice in this city. 3 They keep saying, ‘The right time to build families[a] hasn’t yet arrived. The city is the pot and we are the meat.’
