²³ ထာဝရဘုရား၏ ဘုန်းတော်သည် မြို့ထဲက တက်၍၊ မြို့အရှေ့မှာ ရှိသောတောင်ပေါ်၌ ရပ်တော်မူ၏။

¹ Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

² He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;

³ who say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
