8 And it came about in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth day of the month, that I was sitting in my house and the older men* of Judah were sitting before me,+ when the hand of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah fell upon me there.+

20 Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], on the tenth [day] of the month, [that] men from the elderly ones of Israel came in to inquire of Jehovah,+ and they proceeded to sit down before me.+

31 And they will come in to you, like the coming in of people, and sit before you as my people;+ and they will certainly hear your words but these they will not do,+ for with their mouth they are expressing lustful desires [and] after their unjust gain is where their heart is going.+
