Ezekiel 13 (WEBP)

[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.’”

Ezekiel 13 (KJVS)

[1] And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ()
[2] 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;
[3] Thus saith () the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow () their own spirit, and have seen () nothing!
[4] O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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? ()
[8] Therefore thus saith () the Lord God; Because ye have spoken () vanity, and seen () lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith () the Lord God.
[9] 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.
[10] 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:
[11] 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.
[12] Lo, when the wall is fallen, () shall it not be said () unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed () it?
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] 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;
[16] 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.
[17] 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,
[18] 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?
[19] 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?
[20] 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. ()
[21] 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.
[22] 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: ()
[23] 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.

Ezekiel 13 (BYZ)

[1] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[2] υιε ανθρωπου προφητευσον επι τους προφητας του ισραηλ και προφητευσεις και ερεις προς αυτους ακουσατε λογον κυριου
[3] ταδε λεγει κυριος ουαι τοις προφητευουσιν απο καρδιας αυτων και το καθολου μη βλεπουσιν
[4] οι προφηται σου ισραηλ ως αλωπεκες εν ταις ερημοις
[5] ουκ εστησαν εν στερεωματι και συνηγαγον ποιμνια επι τον οικον του ισραηλ ουκ ανεστησαν οι λεγοντες εν ημερα κυριου
[6] βλεποντες ψευδη μαντευομενοι ματαια οι λεγοντες λεγει κυριος και κυριος ουκ απεσταλκεν αυτους και ηρξαντο του αναστησαι λογον
[7] ουχ ορασιν ψευδη εωρακατε και μαντειας ματαιας ειρηκατε
[8] δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ ων οι λογοι υμων ψευδεις και αι μαντειαι υμων ματαιαι δια τουτο ιδου εγω εφ υμας λεγει κυριος
[9] και εκτενω την χειρα μου επι τους προφητας τους ορωντας ψευδη και τους αποφθεγγομενους ματαια εν παιδεια του λαου μου ουκ εσονται ουδε εν γραφη οικου ισραηλ ου γραφησονται και εις την γην του ισραηλ ουκ εισελευσονται και γνωσονται διοτι εγω κυριος
[10] ανθ ων τον λαον μου επλανησαν λεγοντες ειρηνη ειρηνη και ουκ ην ειρηνη και ουτος οικοδομει τοιχον και αυτοι αλειφουσιν αυτον ει πεσειται
[11] ειπον προς τους αλειφοντας πεσειται και εσται υετος κατακλυζων και δωσω λιθους πετροβολους εις τους ενδεσμους αυτων και πεσουνται και πνευμα εξαιρον και ραγησεται
[12] και ιδου πεπτωκεν ο τοιχος και ουκ ερουσιν προς υμας που εστιν η αλοιφη υμων ην ηλειψατε
[13] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος και ρηξω πνοην εξαιρουσαν μετα θυμου και υετος κατακλυζων εν οργη μου εσται και τους λιθους τους πετροβολους εν θυμω επαξω εις συντελειαν
[14] και κατασκαψω τον τοιχον ον ηλειψατε και πεσειται και θησω αυτον επι την γην και αποκαλυφθησεται τα θεμελια αυτου και πεσειται και συντελεσθησεσθε μετ ελεγχων και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος
[15] και συντελεσω τον θυμον μου επι τον τοιχον και επι τους αλειφοντας αυτον και πεσειται και ειπα προς υμας ουκ εστιν ο τοιχος ουδε οι αλειφοντες αυτον
[16] προφηται του ισραηλ οι προφητευοντες επι ιερουσαλημ και οι ορωντες αυτη ειρηνην και ειρηνη ουκ εστιν λεγει κυριος
[17] και συ υιε ανθρωπου στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι τας θυγατερας του λαου σου τας προφητευουσας απο καρδιας αυτων και προφητευσον επ αυτας
[18] και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος ουαι ταις συρραπτουσαις προσκεφαλαια επι παντα αγκωνα χειρος και ποιουσαις επιβολαια επι πασαν κεφαλην πασης ηλικιας του διαστρεφειν ψυχας αι ψυχαι διεστραφησαν του λαου μου και ψυχας περιεποιουντο
[19] και εβεβηλουν με προς τον λαον μου ενεκεν δρακος κριθων και ενεκεν κλασματων αρτου του αποκτειναι ψυχας ας ουκ εδει αποθανειν και του περιποιησασθαι ψυχας ας ουκ εδει ζησαι εν τω αποφθεγγεσθαι υμας λαω εισακουοντι ματαια αποφθεγματα
[20] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω επι τα προσκεφαλαια υμων εφ α υμεις συστρεφετε εκει ψυχας και διαρρηξω αυτα απο των βραχιονων υμων και εξαποστελω τας ψυχας ας υμεις εκστρεφετε τας ψυχας αυτων εις διασκορπισμον
[21] και διαρρηξω τα επιβολαια υμων και ρυσομαι τον λαον μου εκ χειρος υμων και ουκετι εσονται εν χερσιν υμων εις συστροφην και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος
[22] ανθ ων διεστρεφετε καρδιαν δικαιου αδικως και εγω ου διεστρεφον αυτον και του κατισχυσαι χειρας ανομου το καθολου μη αποστρεψαι απο της οδου αυτου της πονηρας και ζησαι αυτον
[23] δια τουτο ψευδη ου μη ιδητε και μαντειας ου μη μαντευσησθε ετι και ρυσομαι τον λαον μου εκ χειρος υμων και γνωσεσθε οτι εγω κυριος
