God’s Sure Judgment on Jerusalem

11 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the Lord that faces east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah^(A) son of Benaiah, leaders^(B) of the people.^(C)

⁸ While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown,^(A) crying out, “Alas, Sovereign Lord!^(B) Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath^(C) on Jerusalem?^(D)”
