Ezekiel 13:2-17
2“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 againstH413 the 1prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 who prophesyH5012, and sayH559 to those who prophesyH5030 from their own 2inspirationH3820, ‘3ListenH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068! 3ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 4GodH3068, “WoeH1945 to the 5foolishH5036 prophetsH5030 whoH834 are followingH1980H310 their own spiritH7307 and have 6seenH7200 nothingH1115. 4O IsraelH3478, your prophetsH5030 have beenH1961 like foxesH7776 among ruinsH2723. 5You have not 7goneH5927 up into the 8breachesH6556, norH3808 did you buildH1443 the wallH1443 aroundH5921 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to standH5975 in the battleH4421 on the 9dayH3117 of the LordH3068. 6They seeH2372 1011falsehoodH7723 and lyingH3577 divinationH7081 who are sayingH559, ‘The LordH3068 declaresH5002,’ when the LordH3068 has not sentH7971 them; 12yet they hopeH3176 for the fulfillmentH6965 of their wordH1697. 713Did you not seeH7200 a falseH7723 visionH4236 and speakH559 a lyingH3577 divinationH4738 when you saidH559, ‘The LordH3068 declaresH5002,’ but it is not I who have spokenH1696?”’”
8ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 you have spokenH1696 14falsehoodH7723 and seenH2372 a lieH3577, thereforeH3651 beholdH2009, 15I am againstH413 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 9“So My handH3027 will be againstH413 the 16prophetsH5030 who seeH7200 falseH7723 visionsH7723 and utterH7080 lyingH3577 divinationsH7080. They will 17haveH1961 noH3808 placeH1961 in the councilH5475 of My peopleH5971, 18norH3808 will they be writtenH3789 downH3789 in the registerH3791 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, norH3808 will they enterH935 the landH127 of IsraelH3478, 19that you may knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GodH3068. 10It is definitelyH3282 becauseH3282 they have 20misledH2937 My peopleH5971 by sayingH559, ‘21PeaceH7965!’ when thereH369 is 22noH369 peaceH7965. And when anyoneH1931 buildsH1129 a wallH2434, beholdH2009, they plasterH2902 it overH2902 with whitewashH8602; 11so tellH559 those who plasterH2902 it overH2902 with whitewashH8602, that it will fallH5307. A 23floodingH7857 rainH1653 will comeH1961, and you, O hailstonesH1259H68, will fallH5307; and a violentH5591 windH7307 will breakH1234 out. 12BeholdH2009, when the wallH7023 has fallenH5307, will you not be askedH559, ‘WhereH346 is the plasterH2915 with whichH834 you plasteredH2902 it?’” 13ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “I will make a violentH5591 windH7307 breakH1234 out in My wrathH2534. There will also be in My angerH639 a floodingH7857 rainH1653 and 24hailstonesH417H68 to consumeH3615 it in wrathH2534. 14So I will tearH2040 downH2040 the wallH7023 whichH834 you plasteredH2902 overH2902 with whitewashH8602 and bringH5060 it downH5060 to the groundH776, so that its 25foundationH3247 is laidH1540 bareH1540; and when it fallsH5307, you will be 26consumedH3615 in its midstH8432. And you will 27knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 15Thus I will spendH3615 My wrathH2534 on the wallH7023 and on those who have plasteredH2902 it overH2902 with whitewashH8602; and I will sayH559 to you, ‘The wallH7023 28is goneH369 and its plasterersH2902 are goneH369, 16along with the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 who prophesyH5012 to JerusalemH3389, and who 29seeH7200 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her when thereH369 is 30noH369 peaceH7965,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
17“Now you, sonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 the daughtersH1323 of your peopleH5971 who are 31prophesyingH5012 32from their own 33inspirationH3820. ProphesyH5012 againstH5921 them
