EasyEnglish Bible

What will happen to Jerusalem

11 Then a spirit lifted me up and took me to the east gate of the Lord's temple.^[a] When I was there, near the entrance of the gate, I could see 25 men. Azzur's son Jaazaniah and Benaiah's son Pelatiah were among them. They were leaders of the people. ² The Lord said to me. ‘Son of man, these are the men who decide to do evil things in this city. They also give wicked advice to the people. ³ They say, “It is not the right time now to build houses. This city is like a pot to cook meat on a fire. We are like the meat in that pot.”
