Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation

Berean Standard Bible
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
`
Son of man, prophesy concerning
the prophets of Israel who are prophesying ,
and
thou
hast
said
to
those prophesying
from
their own heart
: Hear ye
a
word of Jehovah:
“
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!
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Wo
unto
the prophets
who
are
foolish ,
Who are
going
after
their own spirit, And
they
have seen nothing.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Woe
to
the foolish prophets
who follow
their own spirit, yet
have seen nothing.
As
foxes
in
the
wastes,
Thy
prophets, O Israel, have
been
.
Your
prophets, O Israel, are
like
foxes
among
the
ruins
.
Ye
have
not gone
up into
breaches,
Nor
do
ye
make
a
fence
for
the house of Israel ,
To
stand in battle in
a
day of Jehovah
.
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
.
They have
seen
vanity,
and lying divination
, Who
are
saying:
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
Jehovah
hath
not sent
them ,
And
they have
hoped
to
establish
a
word
.
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
.
A vain
vision have
ye
not
seen,
And a lying divination spoken,
When ye
say:
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have not spoken?
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?
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because ye
have spoken
vanity,
and seen a
lie,
Therefore,
lo
, I `
am '
against you, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
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
.
And
My hand hath
been
on
the prophets ,
Who are
seeing
vanity,
and who
are
divining
a
lie,
In
the assembly
of My people they
are
not,
And
in the writing
of the house of Israel they
are
not
written
, And
unto
the ground
of Israel they
come
not,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
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
.
Because ,
even
because,
they did
cause
My people to
err
, Saying, Peace !
and
there is no peace, And that one
is building
a
wall,
And
lo
, they
are
daubing
it
with
chalk.
Because they have
led
My people astray
, saying, ‘
Peace ,’
when
there is no peace, and whitewashing
any
flimsy
wall
that is built
,
Say
to
those daubing
with
chalk
--
It falleth,
There
hath
been
an
overflowing
shower,
And
ye
, O
hailstones ,
do
fall
, And a tempestuous
wind
doth
rend,
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.
And
lo,
fallen
hath
the wall !
Doth
not
one
say
unto
you, Where `
is '
the daubing
that
ye
daubed
?
Surely
when
the wall has
fallen,
you will
not
be
asked
, ‘
Where is the whitewash
with
which
you
covered
it
? ’
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: I
have
rent
with
a
tempestuous
wind
in My fury
, And an
overflowing
shower
is
in Mine
anger ,
And hailstones
in
My
fury --
to
consume
.
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.
And
I have
broken
down the wall that
ye
daubed
with
chalk,
And have
caused
it to come
unto
the earth
, And
revealed
hath
been
its foundation, And it hath
fallen,
And
ye
have
been
consumed
in
its
midst,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
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
.
And I have completed
My wrath on
the wall ,
And on
those daubing
it with
chalk
, And
I say to you: The wall is not
, And those daubing
it are
not;
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 —
The
prophets of Israel who are
prophesying
concerning
Jerusalem ,
And who
are
seeing
for
her
a vision of peace ,
And
there is
no peace, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
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
. ’
And
thou
, son of man, set thy
face against the daughters of thy
people ,
who are
prophesying
out of their own heart,
and
prophesy concerning
them ,
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
hast
said:
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Wo
to those
sowing
pillows
for
all
joints
of
the arm,
And to
those
making
the
kerchiefs
For the head
of every stature
--
to hunt
souls ,
The souls do
ye
hunt
of My people ?
And
the
souls
ye
have
do
ye
keep
alive
?
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
?
Yea,
ye
pierce
Me concerning
My people ,
For handfuls of barley ,
And for
pieces
of bread ,
to
put
to death
Souls
that
should not die,
And to
keep
alive
souls
that
should not live,
By
your
lying
to
My
people
--
hearkening
to
lies
.
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
.
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo
, I `
am '
against your
pillows,
With which ye
are
hunting
there
the
souls of
the
flourishing
, And I have
rent
them from off
your arms ,
And
have
sent
away
the
souls
that
ye
are
hunting,
The souls of
the
flourishing
.
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
.
And
I have
torn
your kerchiefs,
And delivered
My people out
of
your hand
, And
they are
no more
in your hand
for
a
prey,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
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
.
Because of
paining
the
heart
of
the righteous with falsehood
, And
I have not
pained
it
, And strengthening
the
hands
of
the wicked ,
So
as
not to turn back
from his
evil way,
To keep
him
alive
,
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
,
Therefore ,
vanity
ye
do
not
see ,
And
divination ye
do
not
divine
again,
And
I have
delivered
My people out
of
your hand,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah!'
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.”
