Judgment on Wicked Counselors

1 Then athe Spirit lifted me up and brought me to bthe East Gate of the Lord’s house, which faces eastward; and there cat the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.  
2 And He said to me: “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked1 counsel in this city,  
3 who say, ‘The time is not anear to build houses; bthis city is the caldron, and we are the meat.’  
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!”
5 Then athe Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the Lord: “Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for bI know the things that come into your mind.

Ezekiel 11:3

It is not near - That is, the threatened invasion.

This city is the caldron, and we be the flesh - See the vision of the seething pot, Jeremiah 1:13. These infidels seem to say: "We will run all risks, we will abide in the city. Though it be the caldron, and we the flesh, yet we will share its fate: if it perish, we will perish with it." Or they may allude to the above prediction of Jeremiah, in order to ridicule it: "We were to have been boiled long ago: but the fulfillment of that prediction is not near yet."
