MOREOVER the Ruach lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Yahuah's house, which looks eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Ya'azanyahu the son of Azzur, and Pelatyahu the son of Benayahu, princes of the people.
Then said he unto me, son of A'dam, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of A'dam.
And the Ruach Yahuah fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus says Yahuah; Thus have ye said, O house of Yashar'el: for I know the things that come into your mind, everyone of them.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Therefore thus says Adonai Yahuah; 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.
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, says Adonai Yahuah.
And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Yashar'el; and ye shall know that I am Yahuah.
This 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 Yashar'el:
And ye shall know that I am Yahuah: 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.
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatyahu the son of Benayahu died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Adonai Yahuah! will you make a full end of את the remnant of Yashar'el?
Again the Word of Yahuah came unto me, saying,
son of A'dam, your brethren, even your brethren, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Yashar'el wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Yerushalayim have said, Get you far from Yahuah: unto us is this land given in possession.
Therefore say, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; 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.
Therefore say, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; 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 Yashar'el.
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new ruach within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:
That they may walk in my statutes, and guard my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohiym.
But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, says Adonai Yahuah.
Then did the Keruviym lift up their wings, and the Ophaniym beside them; and the glory of the Elohiym of Yashar'el was over them above.
And the glory of Yahuah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Afterwards the Ruach took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Ruach Elohiym into Kasdiymah, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Then I spoke unto them of the captivity את all the things that Yahuah had showed me.
