Both occurrences use the construct singular noun in denunciations of deceptive prophetic speech. In Ezekiel 12:24 the APB renders a clause rejecting "flattering divination" among the house of Israel; in Ezekiel 13:7 it renders a divination "of a lie" spoken despite the claim "Utterance of the LORD."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "flattering divination" in Ezekiel 12:24 and as a divination "of a lie" in Ezekiel 13:7. These are clause-level renderings rather than definitions.
