[1] Yahweh’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 Yahweh’s word: [3] The Lord Yahweh says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! [4] Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places. [5] You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in Yahweh’s day. [6] They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but Yahweh has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed. [7] Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but I have not spoken?” [8] “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord Yahweh. [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 Yahweh.” [10] “‘Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace;” and there is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash. [11] Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it. [12] Behold, when the wall has fallen, won’t it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?” [13] “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it. [14] So I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will know that I am Yahweh. [15] Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it— [16] to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says the Lord Yahweh.’” [17] You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them, [18] and say, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves? [19] You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’ [20] “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I am against your magic bands, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls fly free, even the souls whom you ensnare like birds. [21] I will also tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand; and they will no longer be in your hand to be ensnared. Then you will know that I am Yahweh. [22] Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive. [23] Therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’”

Woe to the False Prophets

[1] And the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy H5012 against the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 that prophesy, H5012 and say H559 thou unto them that prophesy H5030 out of their own hearts, H3820 Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the Lord; H3068 [3] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 Woe H1945 unto the foolish H5036 prophets, H5030 that follow H1980§ H310 their own spirit, H7307 and have seen H7200 nothing!§ [4] O Israel, H3478 thy prophets H5030 are like the foxes H7776 in the deserts. H2723 [5] Ye have H5927 not H3808 gone up H5927 into the gaps, H6556§ neither made up H1443 the hedge H1447§ for the house H1004 of Israel H3478 to stand H5975 in the battle H4421 in the day H3117 of the Lord. H3068 [6] They have seen H2372 vanity H7723 and lying H3577 divination, H7081 saying, H559 The Lord H3068 saith: H5002 and the Lord H3068 hath not sent H7971 them: and they have made others to hope H3176 that they would confirm H6965 the word. H1697 [7] Have ye not seen H2372 a vain H7723 vision, H4236 and have ye not spoken H1696 a lying H3577 divination, H4738 whereas ye say, H559 The Lord H3068 saith H5002 it; albeit I have not spoken? H559 [8] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because ye have spoken H1696 vanity, H7723 and seen H2372 lies, H3577 therefore, behold, I am against you, saith H5002 the Lord H136 God. H3069 [9] And mine hand H3027 shall be upon the prophets H5030 that see H2374 vanity, H7723 and that divine H7080 lies: H3577 they shall H5475 not H3808 be in the assembly H5475§ of my people, H5971 neither shall they be written H3789 in the writing H3791 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 neither shall they enter H935 into the land H127 of Israel; H3478 and ye shall know H3045 that I am the Lord H136 God. H3069 [10] Because, even because they have seduced H2937 H853 my people, H5971 saying, H559 Peace; H7965 and there was no peace; H7965 and one built up H1129 a wall, H2434§ and, lo, H2009 others daubed H2902 it with untempered H8602 morter: [11] say H559 unto H413 them which daub H2902 it with untempered H8602 morter, that it shall fall: H5307 there shall be an overflowing H7857 shower; H1653 and ye, H859 O great hailstones, H417 H68 shall fall; H5307 and a stormy H5591 wind H7307 shall rend H1234 it. [12] Lo, when the wall H7023 is fallen, H5307 shall it not be said H559 unto you, Where is the daubing H2915 wherewith ye have daubed H2902 it? [13] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 I will even rend H1234 it with a stormy H5591 wind H7307 in my fury; H2534 and there shall be an overflowing H7857 shower H1653 in mine anger, H639 and great hailstones H417 H68 in my fury H2534 to consume H3617 it. [14] So will I break down H2040 H853 the wall H7023 that ye have daubed H2902 with untempered H8602 morter, and bring H5060 it down to the ground, H776 so that the foundation H3247 thereof shall be discovered, H1540 and it shall fall, H5307 and ye shall be consumed H3615 in the midst H8432 thereof: and ye shall know H3045 that I am the Lord. H3068 [15] Thus will I accomplish H3615 H853 my wrath H2534 upon the wall, H7023 and upon them that have daubed H2902 it with untempered H8602 morter, and will say H559 unto you, The wall H7023 is no more, neither they that daubed H2902 it; [16] to wit, the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 which prophesy H5012 concerning Jerusalem, H3389 and which see H2374 visions H2377 of peace H7965 for her, and there is no peace, H7965 saith H5002 the Lord H136 God. H3069 [17] Likewise, thou son H1121 of man, H120 set H7760 thy face H6440 against H5921 the daughters H1323 of thy people, H5971 which prophesy H5012 out of their own heart; H3820 and prophesy H5012 thou against them, [18] and say, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 Woe H1945 to the women that sew H8609 pillows H3704 to all armholes, H679§ H3027 and make H6213 kerchiefs H4555 upon H5921 the head H7218 of every stature H6967 to hunt H6679 souls! H5315 Will ye hunt H6679 the souls H5315 of my people, H5971 and will ye save H2421 the souls H5315 alive H2421 that come unto you? [19] And will ye pollute H2490 me among my people H5971 for handfuls H8168 of barley H8184 and for pieces H6595 of bread, H3899 to slay H4191 the souls H5315 that should not die, H4191 and to save H2421 the souls H5315 alive H2421 that should not live, H2421 by your lying H3576 to my people H5971 that hear H8085 your lies? H3577 [20] Wherefore thus saith H559 the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I am against your pillows, H3704 wherewith ye H859 there H8033 hunt H6679 the souls H5315 to make them fly,§ H6524 and I will tear H7167 them from your arms, H2220 and will let the souls H5315 go, H7971 even the souls H5315 that ye hunt H6679 to make them fly. H6524 [21] H853 Your kerchiefs H4555 also will I tear, H7167 and deliver H5337 H853 my people H5971 out of your hand, H3027 and they shall be no more in your hand H3027 to be hunted; H4686 and ye shall know H3045 that I am the Lord. H3068 [22] Because with lies H8267 ye have made the heart H3820 of the righteous H6662 sad, H3512 whom I have not made sad; H3510 and strengthened H2388 the hands H3027 of the wicked, H7451 that he should not return H7725 from his wicked H7563 way, H1870 by promising him life: H2421§ [23] therefore ye shall see H2372 no more vanity, H7723 nor divine H7080 divinations: H7081 for H3588 I will deliver H5337 H853 my people H5971 out of your hand: H3027 and ye shall know H3045 that I am the Lord.
