Then
the word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying,
And
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying,
“
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who
are
now
prophesying.
Tell
those
who
prophesy out of their own imagination:
Hear the word of the
LORD!
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that
prophesy ,
and
say
thou
unto
them
that
prophesy
out of their own heart,
Hear ye
the word of Jehovah:
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says:
Woe to
the foolish prophets who
follow their own spirit, yet
have seen nothing .
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah,
Woe unto
the foolish prophets ,
that
follow their own spirit, and
have seen nothing !
Your
prophets,
O Israel, are
like foxes among
the ruins
.
O Israel, thy
prophets
have
been
like foxes in
the waste
places
.
You
did
not go
up to
the gaps or
restore
the wall around
the house of Israel so
that
it
would
stand in the battle on
the Day of the
LORD
.
Ye
have
not gone
up into
the gaps ,
neither
built
up
the wall for
the house of Israel ,
to
stand in the battle in
the day of Jehovah
.
They see
false
visions
and speak
lying divinations.
They
claim
, ‘Thus
declares
the
LORD
, ’
when
the
LORD
did
not send
them ;
yet
they wait
for
the fulfillment
of
their
message
.
They have
seen
falsehood
and lying divination
, that
say
, Jehovah
saith;
but
Jehovah
hath
not sent
them :
and
they have
made
men
to
hope
that
the word
would
be
confirmed
.
Haven’t
you
seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when
you
proclaim
, ‘Thus
declares
the
LORD
, ’
even
though
I have not spoken?
Have
ye
not
seen a false vision ,
and have
ye
not
spoken a lying divination, in
that
ye
say
, Jehovah
saith;
albeit
I have not spoken?
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because you
have uttered
vain
words
and seen false
visions
, I am against you, declares
the Lord GOD
.
Therefore thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Because ye
have spoken
falsehood,
and seen lies
, therefore,
behold,
I am against you, saith
the Lord Jehovah
.
My hand will
be against the prophets who
see false visions and speak
lying
divinations.
They will
not belong
to
the council of My people or
be recorded
in the register
of the house of Israel, nor
will
they enter the land of Israel .
Then
you
will
know that I am the Lord GOD
.
And
my hand shall
be against the prophets that
see false visions ,
and that
divine
lies:
they shall
not be
in
the council of my people ,
neither
shall
they
be written
in the writing
of the house of Israel, neither
shall
they enter into
the land of Israel ;
and
ye
shall
know that I am the Lord Jehovah
.
Because they have led
My people astray
, saying, ‘
Peace ,’
when
there is no peace ,
and whitewashing
any
flimsy
wall that
is
built
,
Because ,
even
because
they have seduced
my people, saying, Peace ;
and
there is no peace ;
and when
one
buildeth
up
a
wall, behold,
they
daub
it
with
untempered
`mortar':
tell
those
whitewashing
the
wall
that it will
fall .
Rain
will
come
in
torrents
, I
will
send
hailstones plunging
down
, and a windstorm
will
burst
forth
.
say
unto
them
that daub
it with
untempered
`mortar',
that
it
shall
fall :
there
shall
be
an
overflowing
shower;
and
ye
, O
great
hailstones, shall
fall;
and a stormy
wind
shall
rend
it
.
Surely
when the wall has
fallen, you
will
not be asked
, ‘
Where is the whitewash
with
which
you
covered
it? ’
Lo,
when the wall is
fallen, shall
it
not be said
unto
you
, Where is the daubing
wherewith
ye
have
daubed
it?
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: In
My
wrath
I will release
a windstorm,
and
in My anger torrents
of
rain
and hail
will
fall
with
destructive
fury
.
Therefore thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: I will even
rend
it
with
a stormy
wind
in my wrath;
and
there
shall
be
an
overflowing
shower
in
mine
anger ,
and great
hailstones
in
wrath
to
consume
it
.
I
will tear
down the wall you
whitewashed
and level
it to the ground, so that its
foundation
is
exposed.
The city
will
fall, and you
will
be destroyed
within
it.
Then
you
will
know that I am the
LORD
.
So
will I
break
down the wall that
ye
have
daubed
with
untempered
`mortar',
and bring
it down
to the ground, so that the foundation
thereof
shall
be
uncovered;
and
it
shall
fall, and ye
shall
be consumed
in
the
midst
thereof:
and
ye
shall
know that I am Jehovah
.
And
after
I have
vented
My wrath against
the wall and against
those
who
whitewashed
it ,
I will say to
you :
‘
The wall is gone
, and
so
are
those
who
whitewashed
it —
Thus
will
I accomplish
my wrath upon
the wall ,
and upon
them
that
have
daubed
it with
untempered
`mortar';
and
I will say unto
you ,
The wall is no
more
, neither
they
that
daubed
it ;
those
prophets of Israel who
prophesied
to
Jerusalem and saw
a
vision
of peace for her when
there was
no peace, declares
the Lord GOD
. ’
`to
wit',
the
prophets of Israel that
prophesy
concerning
Jerusalem ,
and that
see
visions
of peace for her ,
and
there is
no peace, saith
the Lord Jehovah
.
Now
, O
son of man, set your
face against the daughters of your
people who
prophesy out of their own imagination.
Prophesy against them
And
thou
, son of man, set thy
face against the daughters of thy
people ,
that
prophesy out of their own heart;
and
prophesy thou
against them ,
and tell
them
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Woe to the women who
sew magic
charms
on
their
wrists
and make veils
for the heads
of people
of every height,
in
order
to ensnare
their
souls .
Will you
ensnare
the souls of My people but
preserve
your
own
?
and say,
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Woe to the women that
sew pillows
upon
all
elbows,
and make kerchiefs
for the head
of `persons
of '
every stature
to hunt
souls !
Will ye
hunt
the souls of my people ,
and
save
souls
alive
for
yourselves
?
You
have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps
of bread .
By
lying
to
My
people
who
would
listen
, you
have
killed
those
who
should not have
died
and spared
those
who
should not have
lived
.
And
ye
have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for
pieces
of bread, to
slay
the
souls
that
should not die,
and to
save
the
souls
alive
that
should not live,
by
your
lying
to
my
people
that
hearken
unto
lies
.
Therefore
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: See
, I am against the magic
charms
with
which
you
ensnare
souls like
birds
, and I will tear them from your arms .
So
I will free
the souls you
have
ensnared
like
birds
.
Wherefore
thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Behold
, I am against your
pillows,
wherewith
ye
there
hunt
the souls to
make
`them'
fly
, and I will tear them from your arms ;
and
I will let
the souls go,
even
the
souls
that
ye
hunt
to
make
`them'
fly
.
I
will
also tear off
your
veils
and deliver My people from
your hands
, so
that
they will
no
longer
be prey
in your hands.
Then
you
will
know that I am the
LORD
.
Your
kerchiefs
also will
I
tear ,
and deliver my people out
of
your hand
, and
they shall
be no
more
in your hand
to
be
hunted;
and
ye
shall
know that I am Jehovah
.
Because you
have disheartened
the righteous with
your
lies
, even
though
I have caused
them
no
grief,
and because
you
have
encouraged
the wicked not to
turn
from their
evil
ways
to
save
their
lives
,
Because with
lies
ye
have grieved
the heart
of
the
righteous, whom
I have not
made
sad;
and strengthened
the hands
of
the
wicked ,
that
he
should
not return
from his
wicked
way
, and
be
saved
alive:
therefore you
will
no longer
see false visions or
practice
divination.
I will deliver My people from
your hands.
Then
you
will
know that I am the
LORD
. ”
Therefore ye
shall
no more
see false visions ,
nor
divine
divinations:
and
I will deliver my people out
of
your hand;
and
ye
shall
know that I am Jehovah
.
