Contextual Overview
1Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of Yahweh which faced eastward. And behold, at the entrance of the gate, there were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. 2He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise wickedness and give evil counsel in this city, 3who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot, and we are the flesh.' 4Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!" 5Then the Spirit of Yahweh fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, "So you say, house of Israel, for I know what comes up in your spirit. 6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with them." 7Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh, and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it. 8You have feared a sword; so a sword I will bring upon you," Lord Yahweh declares. 9"And I will bring you out of the midst of the city and give you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you. 10You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am Yahweh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore prophesy against them,.... Evil things against them, things that are disagreeable to them; since they flatter themselves with good things, and cry peace and safety, let them know that destruction is coming upon them: or, "concerning them" f; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine:
prophesy, O son of man; this is repeated, not only to stir up the prophet to the performance of his work and office, not fearing the faces, and revilings, and mockings of men; but to show the indignation of the Lord at their scoffs and jeers, and the certain accomplishment of what should be predicted.
