Contextual Overview

1 Then a spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of Adonai 's house, the gate that faces eastward. At the entrance of the gate I saw twenty-five men; among them were Ya'azanyah the son of ‘Azur and P'latyahu the son of B'nayahu, leaders of the people. 2 He said to me, "Human being, these are the men who make evil plans and give wicked advice in this city. 3 They say, ‘The time hasn't come to build houses. This city is the cooking pot, and we're the meat!' 4 Therefore prophesy against them, human being, prophesy!" 5 The Spirit of Adonai fell on me, and he said to me, "Say, ‘Here is what Adonai says: "What you are saying is correct, house of Isra'el; because I know how your minds work. 6 You have killed many in this city, you have filled its streets with the dead." 7 Therefore Adonai Elohim says this: "Those you have killed and strewn all over it, they are the meat; and this city is indeed the cooking pot; but you will be removed from it. 8 You are afraid of the sword, but I will bring the sword upon you," says Adonai Elohim . 9 "I will bring you out of it, hand you over to foreigners and execute judgments among you. 10 You will die by the sword; I will judge you at the border of Isra'el; and you will know that I am Adonai .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye have multiplied your slain in this city,.... Had killed many of the prophets of the Lord that had been sent unto them, and had shed much innocent blood; and not only had unjustly condemned many to die, and had put them to death without a cause; but also the death of all those that were slain while the city was besieging, and when it was taken, were owing to their advice and counsel, in encouraging them to hold out, and not deliver up the city; fancying they should be able to defend it, contrary to the declarations of the Lord by the prophet; wherefore their death is laid to such advisers, and they are called their slain:

and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain; such numbers of innocent persons being put to death, as in the times of Manasseh,

2 Kings 21:16; or so many dying of the famine, pestilence, and sword, during the siege, and at the taking of Jerusalem.
