Ezekiel 13:1-7

1Then the word of the Lord came to me:

2“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to the prophets who prophesy from their imagination: ‘Hear the word of the Lord!

3This is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit but have seen nothing!

4Your prophets have become like jackals among the ruins, O Israel.

5You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the Lord.

6They see delusion and their omens are a lie. They say, “the Lord declares,” though the Lord has not sent them; yet they expect their word to be confirmed.

7Have you not seen a false vision and announced a lying omen when you say, “the Lord declares,” although I myself never spoke?
