1The Spirit scooped me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s house, looking east, and I saw 25 dudes chilling at the gate; one was Jaazaniah, son of Azur, and another was Pelatiah, son of Benaiah, total rizz.

2Then He said to me, "Yo, these are the guys plotting chaos and dropping sus advice in this city."

3They’re like, “It’s not happening soon; let’s build houses, this city is the pot, and we’re the meat.”

4So, prophesy against them, son of man, pop off.

5The Spirit of the Lord hit me, and said, "Speak; here’s the deal from the Lord: I see all your thoughts, no cap."

6You’ve stacked up bodies in this city, filling the streets with them, straight savage.

7So, the Lord God says: Your slain are the meat in this pot, but I’m gonna bring you outta the middle of it.

8You’ve been scared of the sword; I’m bringing a sword your way, says the Lord God.

9I’ll pull you out of there and hand you over to strangers, and I’ll drop some judgments on you.

10You’ll fall by the sword; I’ll judge you at Israel’s border; you’ll know I’m the Lord, periodt.

11This city ain’t gonna be your pot, and you won’t be the meat in it; I’ll judge you at Israel’s border.

12You’ll know I’m the Lord; you haven’t followed my rules or done my judgments, just vibing like the heathens around you.

13When I prophesied, Pelatiah, son of Benaiah, straight up died. I fell on my face and cried out, “Ah Lord God! You gonna wipe out the remnant of Israel?”

14Then the word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

15"Son of man, your bros, your fam, and all the house of Israel are the ones the people of Jerusalem said, ‘Stay away from the Lord; this land is ours to keep.’"

16So say this: The Lord God says, "Even though I tossed them far away among the heathens and scattered them, I’ll still be like a little sanctuary for them wherever they go."

17So say this: The Lord God says, "I’ll gather you from the people and bring you together from the lands you’ve been scattered, and I’ll give you Israel."

18They’ll come there and ditch all the nasty stuff and abominations from there.

19I’ll give them one heart and a new spirit; I’ll take out their stony hearts and give them hearts of flesh, fr.

20So they can vibe with my rules, keep my ordinances, and do them; they’ll be my people, and I’ll be their God.

21But for those whose hearts chase after their nasty stuff and abominations, I’ll pay them back, says the Lord God.

22Then the cherubim lifted their wings, and the wheels next to them; the glory of the God of Israel was over them, lit.

23The glory of the Lord rose up from the city and stood on the mountain east of the city.

24Then the Spirit took me up and showed me a vision of Chaldea, to those in captivity. The vision I had seen left me.

25Then I told the captives everything the Lord had shown me, no cap.

1Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

2Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

3Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.

4Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.

5And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.

6Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

7Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

8Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God.

9And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

10Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

11This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:

12And ye shall know that I am the Lord: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.

13And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

14Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

15Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession.

16Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

17Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

18And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

19And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

20That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.

22Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

23And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

24Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

25Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
