Contextual Overview
1 The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord's house which faces eastward. There I saw twenty-five men at the door of the gate. Among them I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people. 2 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who make sinful plans and tell others in this city to do what is wrong. 3 They say, ‘Will it not soon be time to build houses? This city is the pot and we are the meat.' 4 So tell what will happen against them, son of man. Speak the Word of God!" 5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon me, and He said to me, "Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: "This is what you thought, O people of Israel. For I know the things that come into your mind. 6 You have made many more of your people die in this city. You have filled its streets with them." 7 So the Lord God says, "Your dead whom you have laid in the city are the meat, and this city is the pot. But I will bring you out of it. 8 You have been afraid of the sword, so I will bring a sword upon you," the Lord God says. 9 "And I will bring you out of the city, and give you over to strangers and punish you. 10 You will be killed by the sword all the way to the land of Israel, so you will know that I am the Lord.
