12Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’ 13Therefore 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. 14I 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.…

Ezekiel 13
1. The reproof of false prophets
10. and their untempered mortar
17. Of prophecies and their pillows














Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says
This phrase underscores the authority and sovereignty of God. The Hebrew term for "Lord GOD" is "Adonai Yahweh," emphasizing both His lordship and covenantal relationship with Israel. This introduction serves as a divine seal, affirming that the message is not from Ezekiel himself but from God, demanding the utmost attention and reverence.

I will release a windstorm in My wrath
The "windstorm" symbolizes God's powerful and uncontrollable judgment. In Hebrew, the word for "windstorm" is "ruach," which can also mean spirit or breath, indicating a forceful and divine intervention. Historically, windstorms were seen as acts of divine displeasure, often used metaphorically to describe God's judgment against sin and rebellion. This imagery conveys the intensity and inevitability of God's righteous anger.

and in My anger torrents of rain
The "torrents of rain" represent overwhelming judgment. Rain, in the Hebrew context, is often a blessing, but here it is a destructive force. The phrase highlights the reversal of blessings due to Israel's disobedience. The Hebrew word "geshem" for rain suggests a heavy downpour, indicating the severity of God's response to false prophets and their misleading messages.

and hail will fall with destructive fury
Hail, in biblical times, was a symbol of divine punishment and chaos. The Hebrew word "barad" for hail is associated with the plagues of Egypt, reminding the Israelites of God's power to disrupt and dismantle. The "destructive fury" emphasizes the completeness of God's judgment. This phrase serves as a warning of the consequences of turning away from God's truth, urging a return to faithfulness and obedience.
