* 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 .
