Ezekiel 13:1-23
The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man,
prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now
prophesying. Say to those who prophesy out of their
own imagination: `Hear the word of the LORD! This is
what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the foolish
prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen
nothing! Your prophets, O Israel, are like jackals
among ruins. You have not gone up to the breaks in
the wall to repair it for the house of Israel so
that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of
the LORD. Their visions are false and their
divinations a lie. They say, "The LORD declares,"
when the LORD has not sent them; yet they expect
their words to be fulfilled. Have you not seen false
visions and uttered lying divinations when you say,
"The LORD declares," though I have not spoken?
"`Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
Because of your false words and lying visions, I am
against you, declares the Sovereign LORD. My hand
will be against the prophets who see false visions
and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to
the council of my people or be listed in the records
of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land
of Israel. Then you will know that I am the
Sovereign LORD. "`Because they lead my people
astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and
because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it
with whitewash, therefore tell those who cover it
with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will
come in torrents, and I will send hailstones
hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth.
When the wall collapses, will people not ask you,
"Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"
"`Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In
my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my
anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with
destructive fury. I will tear down the wall you have
covered with whitewash and will level it to the
ground so that its foundation will be laid bare.
When it falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you
will know that I am the LORD. So I will spend my
wrath against the wall and against those who covered
it with whitewash. I will say to you, "The wall is
gone and so are those who whitewashed it, those
prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and
saw visions of peace for her when there was no
peace, declares the Sovereign LORD." ' "Now, son of
man, set your face against the daughters of your
people who prophesy out of their own imagination.
Prophesy against them and say, `This is what the
Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the women who sew magic
charms on all their wrists and make veils of various
lengths for their heads in order to ensnare people.
Will you ensnare the lives of my people but preserve
your own? You have profaned me among my people for a
few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying
to my people, who listen to lies, you have killed
those who should not have died and have spared those
who should not live. "`Therefore this is what the
Sovereign LORD says: I am against your magic charms
with which you ensnare people like birds and I will
tear them from your arms; I will set free the people
that you ensnare like birds. I will tear off your
veils and save my people from your hands, and they
will no longer fall prey to your power. Then you
will know that I am the LORD. Because you
disheartened the righteous with your lies, when I
had brought them no grief, and because you
encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil
ways and so save their lives, therefore you will no
longer see false visions or practice divination. I
will save my people from your hands. And then you
will know that I am the LORD.'"
