1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,2Son of Adam, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and say to those prophesying from their heart: "Hear the word of the LORD."3This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and see nothing.4Your prophets in Israel are like foxes in the ruins.5You did not go up in the breaches, and you did not make a wall for the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the LORD.6They envisioned vanity and divined a lie, saying, "Declares the LORD," when the LORD did not send them, and they hoped to establish a word.7Haven't you seen a false vision and spoken lying divinations, saying, "The LORD declares," when I did not speak?8Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lying visions, behold, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.9And the hand of the LORD will be against the prophets who see vanity and who divine lies, in the secret council of My people. They will not be in it, and they will not be written in the register of the house of Israel, and they will not come to the land of Israel. And you will know that I am the Lord GOD.10Because, yes, they have led my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace. And when one built a wall, they plastered it with plaster.11Say to the whitewash, "Emptiness will fall, and it will fall." There will be a flooding rain, and I will give hailstones. Emptiness will fall, and a storm wind will burst.12And behold, the wall has fallen. Will it not be said to you, "Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?"13Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will unleash a storm wind in my wrath, and flooding rain in my anger, and hailstones in fury to bring an end.14And I will tear down the wall that you plastered with whitewash and bring it to the ground. Its foundation will be revealed, and it will fall. You will be finished in its midst, and you will know that I am the LORD.15And I will complete my wrath on the wall and on those plastering it—it will fall—and I will say to you: There is no wall, and there are no plasterers with it.16Prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem and the seers for her who see a vision of peace, and there is no peace, declares the Lord GOD.17And you, son of man, set your face toward the daughters of your people, the ones prophesying from their hearts, and prophesy against them.18And you shall say, This is what the Lord GOD says, Woe to the women sewing magic bands on all the joints of my hands and making the attachments on the head of every stature to hunt souls! The souls—they hunt them for my people, and souls for you they keep alive.19And you profane Me toward My people with handfuls of barley and fragments of bread, to put to death lives that will not die and to make lives live that will not live, with your lie to My people, the ones hearing a lie.20Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against your magic bands, which you are hunting there the souls to fly away, and I will tear them off from upon your arms—God's mighty arm—and I will send forth the souls which you are hunting the souls to fly away.21And I will tear your winglets off, and I will deliver my people from your hand. They will no longer be in your hand for a snare, and you will know that I am the LORD.22Because you strike the heart of the righteous with falsehood, when I did not strike him, and you strengthen the hand of the wicked so that he will not turn from his evil way, to keep him alive.23Therefore, you shall not see falsehood, and you shall not divine divination anymore; and I will rescue my people from your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
