New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2 He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city,
3 who say, ’The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot and we are the flesh.’
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!"
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, ’Thus says the Lord, "So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with them."
7 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it.
8 You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you," the Lord God declares.
9 "And I will bring you out of the midst of the city and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the Lord.
11 This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you to the border of Israel.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
