Book 26 : EZEKIEL - Chapter 013
013:001
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that
prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their
own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD
013:002
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that
follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing
013:003
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts
013:004
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge
for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of
the LORD
013:005
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD
saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made
others to hope that they would confirm the word
013:006
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying
divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have
not spoken
013:007
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken
vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,
saith the Lord GOD
013:008
And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and
that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly 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 ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD
013:009
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying,
Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and,
lo, others daubed it with untempered morter
013:010
Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it
shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O
great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it
013:011
Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you,
Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it
013:012
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a
stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing
shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to
consume it
013:013
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with
untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that
the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall,
and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall
know that I am the LORD
013:014
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them
that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto
you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it
013:015
To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning
Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there
is no peace, saith the Lord GOD
013:016
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters
of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and
prophesy thou against them
013:017
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew
pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of
every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my
people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you
013:018
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley
and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not
die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your
lying to my people that hear your lies
013:019
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your
pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly,
and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls
go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly
013:020
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of
your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be
hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD
013:021
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad,
whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the
wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by
promising him life
013:022
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations:
for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall
know that I am the LORD
