Ezekiel:13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
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 ;
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Woe unto the foolish prophets ,
that follow their own spirit ,
and have seen nothing !
*
O Israel Yisra #
el #,
thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because ye have spoken vanity ,
and seen lies ,
therefore ,
behold ,
I am against you ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
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 Yisra #
el #,
neither shall they enter into the land of Israel Yisra #
el #;
and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD .
*
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 :
*
Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter ,
that it shall fall :
there shall be an overflowing shower ;
and ye ,
O great hailstones #
H68 ,
shall fall ;
and a stormy wind shall rend it .
*
Lo ,
when the wall is fallen ,
shall it not be said unto you ,
Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it ?
*
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 #
H68in my fury to consume it .
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
And say ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes #
H3027 ,
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 ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad ,
whom I have not made sad ka ';
and strengthened the hands of the wicked ,
that he should not return from his wicked way ,
by promising him life :
*
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 .
