Ezekiel 13 : 1 (LXXEN)
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 13 : 2 (LXXEN)
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, [Alex. +’that prophesy, and thou shalt say to the prophets that prophesy out of their own heart.’] and thou shalt prophesy, and shalt say to them, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
Ezekiel 13 : 3 (LXXEN)
Thus saith the Lord, Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all.
Ezekiel 13 : 4 (LXXEN)
Thy prophets, O Israel, are like foxes in the deserts.
Ezekiel 13 : 5 (LXXEN)
They have not continued steadfast, and they have gathered flocks against the house of Israel, they that say,
Ezekiel 13 : 6 (LXXEN)
In the day of the Lord, have not *Or, stood up, or, risen up stood, seeing false visions, prophesying vanities, who say, The Lord saith, and the Lord has not sent them, and they began to try to confirm the word.
Ezekiel 13 : 7 (LXXEN)
Have ye not seen a false vision? and spoken vain prophecies?
Ezekiel 13 : 8 (LXXEN)
And therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; Because your words are false, and your prophecies are vain, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord.
Ezekiel 13 : 9 (LXXEN)
And I will stretch forth my hand against the prophets that see false visions, and those that utter vanities: they shall not partake of the *Or, correction instruction of my people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 13 : 10 (LXXEN)
Because they have caused my people to err, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and they plaster it, —it shall fall.
Ezekiel 13 : 11 (LXXEN)
Say to them that plaster it, It shall fall; and there shall be a flooding rain; and I will send great stones upon their joinings, and they shall fall; and there shall be a sweeping wind, and it shall be broken.
Ezekiel 13 : 12 (LXXEN)
And lo! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, *Or, What is become of? See 2 Pe 3:4 Where is your plaster wherewith ye plastered it?
Ezekiel 13 : 13 (LXXEN)
Therefore thus saith the Lord; I will even cause to burst forth a sweeping blast with fury, and there shall be a flooding rain in my wrath; and in my fury I will bring on great stones for complete destruction.
Ezekiel 13 : 14 (LXXEN)
And I will break down the wall which ye have plastered, and it shall fall; and I will lay it on the ground, and its foundations shall be discovered, and it shall fall; and ye shall be consumed with rebukes: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 13 : 15 (LXXEN)
And I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that plaster it; it shall fall: and I said to you, The wall is not, nor they that plaster it,
Ezekiel 13 : 16 (LXXEN)
even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord.
Ezekiel 13 : 17 (LXXEN)
And thou, son of man, set thy face firmly against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them.
Ezekiel 13 : 18 (LXXEN)
And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Woe to the women that sew pillows under every elbow, and make kerchiefs on the head of every stature to pervert souls! The souls of my people are perverted, and they have saved souls alive.
Ezekiel 13 : 19 (LXXEN)
And they have *Gr. profaned dishonoured me before my people for a handful of barley, and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls which should not die, and to save alive the souls which should not live, while ye speak to a people hearing vain speeches.
Ezekiel 13 : 20 (LXXEN)
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against your pillows, *Or, on which ye gather whereby ye there confound souls, and I will tear them away from your arms, and will set at liberty their souls which ye pervert to scatter them.
Ezekiel 13 : 21 (LXXEN)
And I will tear your Kerchiefs, and will rescue my people out of your hands, and they shall no longer be in your hands to be confounded; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 13 : 22 (LXXEN)
Because ye have perverted the heart of the righteous, whereas I perverted him not, and that in order to strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not at all turn from his evil way and live:
Ezekiel 13 : 23 (LXXEN)
therefore ye shall not see false visions, and ye shall no more utter prophecies: but I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
