1 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

2 Son1121 of man,120 prophesy5012 against413 the prophets5030 of Israel3478 that prophesy,5012 and say559 you to them that prophesy5012 out of their own hearts,3820 Hear8085 you the word1697 of the LORD;3068

3 Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe1945 to the foolish5036 prophets,5030 that follow1980 310 their own spirit,7307 and have seen7200 nothing!1115

4 O Israel,3478 your prophets5030 are like the foxes7776 in the deserts.2723

5 You have not gone5927 up into the gaps,6556 neither made1443 up the hedge1447 for the house1004 of Israel3478 to stand5975 in the battle4421 in the day3117 of the LORD.3068

6 They have seen2372 vanity7723 and lying3577 divination,7081 saying,559 The LORD3068 said:5002 and the LORD3068 has not sent7971 them: and they have made others to hope3176 that they would confirm6965 the word.1697

7 Have you not seen2372 a vain7723 vision,4236 and have you not spoken1696 a lying3577 divination,4738 whereas you say,559 The LORD3068 said5002 it; albeit I have not spoken?559

8 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because3282 you have spoken1696 vanity,7723 and seen2372 lies,3576 therefore,3651 behold,2005 I am against413 you, said5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

9 And my hand3027 shall be on the prophets5030 that see2374 vanity,7723 and that divine7080 lies:3576 they shall not be in the assembly5475 of my people,5971 neither3808 shall they be written3789 in the writing3791 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 neither3808 shall they enter935 into the land127 of Israel;3478 and you shall know3045 that I am the Lord136 GOD.3069

10 Because,3282 even because3282 they have seduced2937 my people,5971 saying,559 Peace;7965 and there was no369 peace;7965 and one built1129 up a wall,2434 and, see,2009 others daubed2902 it with untempered8602 mortar:

11 Say559 to them which daub2902 it with untempered8602 mortar, that it shall fall:5307 there shall be an overflowing7857 shower;1653 and you, O great417 hailstones,68 417 shall fall;5307 and a stormy5591 wind7307 shall rend1234 it.

12 See,2009 when the wall7023 is fallen,5307 shall it not be said559 to you, Where346 is the daubing2915 with which834 you have daubed2902 it?

13 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will even rend1234 it with a stormy5591 wind7307 in my fury;2534 and there shall be an overflowing7857 shower1653 in my anger,639 and great417 hailstones68 417 in my fury2534 to consume3615 it.

14 So3651 will I break2040 down2040 the wall7023 that you have daubed2902 with untempered8602 mortar, and bring5060 it down to the ground,776 so3651 that the foundation3247 thereof shall be discovered,1540 and it shall fall,5307 and you shall be consumed3615 in the middle8432 thereof: and you shall know3045 that I am the LORD.3068

15 Thus will I accomplish3615 my wrath2534 on the wall,7023 and on them that have daubed2902 it with untempered8602 mortar, and will say559 to you, The wall7023 is no369 more, neither369 they that daubed2902 it;

16 To wit, the prophets5030 of Israel3478 which prophesy5012 concerning413 Jerusalem,3389 and which see2374 visions2377 of peace7965 for her, and there is no369 peace,7965 said5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

17 Likewise, you son1121 of man,120 set7760 your face6440 against413 the daughters1323 of your people,5971 which prophesy5012 out of their own heart;3820 and prophesy5012 you against5921 them,

18 And say,559 Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe1945 to the women that sew8609 pillows3704 to all3605 armholes,679 3027 and make6213 kerchiefs4555 on the head7218 of every3605 stature6967 to hunt6679 souls!5315 Will you hunt6679 the souls5315 of my people,5971 and will you save2421 the souls5315 alive2421 that come to you?

19 And will you pollute2490 me among413 my people5971 for handfuls8168 of barley8184 and for pieces6595 of bread,3899 to slay4191 the souls5315 that should not die,4191 and to save2421 the souls5315 alive2421 that should not live,2421 by your lying3576 to my people5971 that hear8085 your lies?3576

20 Why3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2005 I am against413 your pillows,3704 with which834 you there8033 hunt6679 the souls5315 to make them fly,6524 and I will tear7167 them from your arms,2220 and will let the souls5315 go,7971 even the souls5315 that you hunt6679 to make them fly.6524

21 Your kerchiefs4555 also will I tear,7167 and deliver5337 my people5971 out of your hand,3027 and they shall be no3808 more5750 in your hand3027 to be hunted;4686 and you shall know3045 that I am the LORD.3068

22 Because3282 with lies3576 you have made the heart3820 of the righteous6662 sad,3512 whom I have not made sad;3510 and strengthened2388 the hands3027 of the wicked,7451 that he should not return7725 from his wicked7563 way,1870 by promising2421 him life:2421

23 Therefore3651 you shall see2372 no3808 more5750 vanity,7723 nor3808 divine7081 divinations:7081 for I will deliver5337 my people5971 out of your hand:3027 and you shall know3045 that I am the LORD.3068
