Contextual Overview
1And [the] Spirit lifts me up, and it brings me to the east gate of the house of YHWH, that is facing the east, and behold, at the opening of the gate [are] twenty-five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people. 2And He says to me, "Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city; 3who are saying, It [is] not near—to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we [are] the flesh. 4Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man."5And [the] Spirit of YHWH falls on me, and He says to me, "Say, Thus said YHWH: You have said correctly, O house of Israel, || And I have known the steps of your spirit. 6You multiplied your wounded in this city, || And filled its out-places with the wounded. 7Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Your wounded whom you placed in its midst, || They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, || And He has brought you out from its midst. 8You have feared a sword, || And I bring in a sword against you, || A declaration of Lord YHWH. 9And I have brought you out of its midst, || And given you into the hand of strangers, || And I have done judgments among you. 10You fall by the sword, || I judge you on the border of Israel, || And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

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.
