1. A wind lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple. There at the entrance to the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw that two officials of the people, Jaazaniah, Azzur’s son, and Pelatiah, Benaiah’s son, were with them.
2. He said to me: Human one, these men devise evil plans and give wicked advice in this city.
3. They are the ones who say, "The nearest relatives aren’t building houses. The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat."
