Ezekiel 13:8-16
8Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “Because you have spoken 1falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, 2I am against you,” declares the Lord God. 9“So My hand will be against the 3prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will 4have no place in the council of My people, 5nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, 6that you may know that I am the Lord God. 10It is definitely because they have 7misled My people by saying, ‘8Peace!’ when there is 9no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash; 11so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall. A 10flooding rain will come, and you, O hailstones, will fall; and a violent wind will break out. 12Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, ‘Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?’” 13Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and 11hailstones to consume it in wrath. 14So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its 12foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be 13consumed in its midst. And you will 14know that I am the Lord. 15Thus I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it over with whitewash; and I will say to you, ‘The wall 15is gone and its plasterers are gone, 16along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who 16see visions of peace for her when there is 17no peace,’ declares the Lord God.
