Ezekiel 11

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 11 of 48

1 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the house of Jehovah, the gate which faces eastward. And, behold, at the opening of the gate were twenty-five men. And I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

2 And He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and advise wicked advice in this city,

3 who say, It is not near, let us build houses; she is the pot, and we are the flesh.
