Ezekiel 11 Ezekiel Condemns Jerusalem’s Wicked Leaders 1The Lord’s Spirit lifted me up and took me to the east gate of the temple, where I saw 25 men, including the two leaders, Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah. 2The Lord said, “Ezekiel, son of man, these men are making evil plans and giving dangerous advice to the people of Jerusalem. 3They say things like, ‘Let’s build more houses. This city is like a cooking pot over a fire, and we are the meat, but at least the pot keeps us from being burned in the fire.’ 4So, Ezekiel, condemn them!” 5The Lord’s Spirit took control of me and told me to tell these leaders: I, the Lord God, know what you leaders are saying. 6You have murdered so many people that the city is filled with dead bodies! 7This city is indeed a cooking pot, but the bodies of those you killed are the meat. And so I will force you to leave Jerusalem, 8and I’ll send armies to attack you, just as you fear. 9Then you will be captured and punished by foreign enemies. 10You will be killed in your own country, but not before you realize that I, the Lord, have done these things. 11You leaders claim to be meat in a cooking pot, but you won’t be protected by this city. No, you will die at the border of Israel. 12You will realize that while you were following the laws of nearby nations, you were disobeying my laws and teachings. And I am the Lord! 13Before I finished speaking, Pelatiah dropped dead. I bowed down and cried out, “Please, Lord God, don’t kill everyone left in Israel.” Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace https://temtube.com/
