Evangelical Heritage Version
Ezekiel 11:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who are plotting evil and giving wicked advice in this city, 3 who are saying, ‘We will not have to build houses anytime soon.[a] The city is the pot, and we are the meat.’ 4 Therefore, prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”

- Ezekiel 11:3 The Hebrew sentence reads to build houses is not near. The context requires a confident assertion, but it is not clear what type of action this comment refers to. Some suggest that the rulers feel no need to build houses because they have expropriated the property of the people in exile and of other defenseless residents of the city. Others suggest that they were mocking Jeremiah’s letter and talking about building houses in Babylon.
