Ezekiel 11:3 in Context — Ezekiel 11

1 Então o Espírito me levantou, e me trouxe à porta oriental da Casa do SENHOR, que está voltada para o oriente; e eis que estavam à entrada da porta vinte e cinco homens; e no meio deles vi a Jazanias filho de Azur, e a Pelatias filho de Benaías, príncipes do povo.

2 E disse-me: Filho do homem, estes são os homens que tramam perversidade, e dão mau conselho nesta cidade;

3 Os quais dizem: Não está perto [o tempo] de edificar casas; esta [cidade] é a caldeira, e nós a carne.

4 Por isso profetiza contra eles; profetiza, ó filho do homem.

5 E caiu sobre mim o Espírito do SENHOR, e disse-me: Dize: Assim diz o SENHOR: Assim vós dizeis, ó casa de Israel; porque eu sei todas as coisas que sobem a vosso espírito.
