Contextual Overview
1 Now the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD'S house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people. 2 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise wrongdoing and give evil advice in this city, 3 who say, 'The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot and we are the meat.' 4 "Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man!"5 Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, 'This is what the LORD says: "This is how you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts. 6 "You have multiplied your slain in this city, and filled its streets with them." 7 'Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the meat and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it. 8 "You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you," the Lord GOD declares. 9 "And I will bring you out of the midst of the city, and hand you over to strangers, and execute judgments against you. 10 "You will fall by the sword.

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.
