Ezekiel 13:2-9 ▼

2 |Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, 'Hear the word of the LORD:

3 Thus says the Lord GOD, |Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing.

4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

5 You have not gone up into the breach, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.|

6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, |The LORD says|; but the LORD has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

7 |Haven't you seen a false vision, and haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, |The LORD says|; but I have not spoken?

8 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, look, I am against you, says the Lord GOD.

9 My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who 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 you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
