2And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
3who are saying, It [is] not near -- to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we the flesh.
4Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.`
5And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, `Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.
6Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
7Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.
8A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
