Ezekiel 13:1–9
1The LORD’s word came to me, saying,↗
2“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the LORD’s word:↗
3The Lord GOD says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!↗
4Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.↗
5You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day.↗
6They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘The LORD says;’ but the LORD has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.↗
7Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘The LORD says;’ but I have not spoken?”↗
8“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord GOD.↗
9“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.”↗
