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,
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,
neither shall they enter
into the land
of Israel;
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,
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
in 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;
say
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,
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

and for pieces

to slay

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

Behold, I am against your pillows,

there hunt

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.

Because with lies
ye have made the heart
of the righteous
sad,
whom I have not made sad;
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.
