1 Then the word of the LORD {YHWH} came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel (he wrestles with God) who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD {YHWH}! 3 This is what the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit {ruachah} yet have seen nothing. 4 Your prophets, O Israel (he wrestles with God), are like foxes among the ruins. 5 You⁺ did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel (he wrestles with God) so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD {Yowm YHWH}. 6 They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD {YHWH},’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message. 7 Haven’t you⁺ seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you⁺ proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD {YHWH},’ even though I have not spoken? 8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} says: Because you⁺ have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you⁺, declares the Lord GOD {YHWH}. 9 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 (he wrestles with God), nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you⁺ will know that I am the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH}. 10 Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built, 11 tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm {ruach} will burst forth. 12 Surely when the wall has fallen, you⁺ will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you⁺ covered it?’ 13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm {ruach}, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.
