* And the Word of the LORD came to me , saying , * Son of man , prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy . And say to those who prophesy out of their own hearts , Hear the Word of Jehovah : * So says the Lord Jehovah , Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing ! * O Israel , your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts . * You have not gone up into the breaks , nor built the wall for the house of Israel , that it might stand in the battle in the day of the LORD . * They have seen vanity and lying divination , saying , The LORD says . And the LORD has not sent them ; but they hoped to confirm [their ] word . * Did you not see a vain vision , and speak a lying divination ? Yet you say , The LORD says ; although I have not spoken ? * Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah : Because you have spoken vanity and seen a lie , therefore , behold , I [am ] against you , says the Lord Jehovah . * And My hand shall be against the prophets who see vanity and who divine a lie . They shall not be in the council of My people , nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel , nor shall they enter into the land of Israel . And you shall know that I [am ] the Lord Jehovah . * Because , even because they made My people go astray , saying , Peace ; and [there was ] no peace ; and he builds a wall , and lo , [others ] daubed it with lime . * Say to those who daub [with ] lime , yes , it shall fall ; [there ] will be a flooding rain ; and you , O hailstones , shall fall , and a stormy wind will break . * And , behold , when the wall has fallen , shall it not be said to you , Where [is ] the daubing with which you have daubed ? * Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah : I will even break [it with ] a stormy wind in My fury . And there shall be an flooding rain in My anger , and hailstones in fury to destroy it . * And I will break down the wall that you have daubed [with ] lime , and touch it to the ground ; yea , I will bare its base . And it shall fall , and you shall be destroyed in her midst ; and you shall know that I [am ] the LORD . * And I will fulfill My wrath on the wall and on those who daubed it [with ] lime . And I will say to you , The wall [is ] no more ; and , Those who daubed [are ] no more ; * the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem , and who see visions of peace for her , and [there is ] no peace , says the LORD . * And you , son of man , set your face against the daughters of your people , who prophesy out of their own heart . And prophesy against them , * and say , So says the Lord Jehovah : Woe to those sewing bands to all joints of my hands , and make long veils for the head of every [man ] of stature , to hunt souls ! Will you hunt the souls of My people , and will you save alive the souls for yourselves ? * And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread , to kill the souls that should not die ; and to save alive the souls that should not live , by your lying to My people who listen to lies . * Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah : Behold , I [am ] against your bands with which you are hunting the souls there , to make them fly . And I will tear them from your arms , and will let the souls go , the souls which you are hunting , to make them fly . * Also I will tear your long veils and deliver My people out of your hand , and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted . And you shall know that I [am ] the LORD . * Because with lies you have saddened the heart of the righteous , whom I have not made sad ; and have made the hands of the wicked strong , so that he should not turn from his wicked way , by promising him life ; * therefore you shall not see vanity , and you shall not divine any divination . and I will deliver My people out of your hands ; and you shall know that I [am ] the LORD .
