Ezekiel 13:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to the prophets who prophesy from their imagination: 'Hear the word of the LORD!
3 This is what the sovereign LORD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit but have seen nothing!
4 Your prophets have become like jackals among the ruins, O Israel.
5 You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the LORD.
6 They see delusion and their omens are a lie. They say, "the LORD declares," though the LORD has not sent them; yet they expect their word to be confirmed.
7 Have you not seen a false vision and announced a lying omen when you say, "the LORD declares," although I myself never spoke?
8 "'Therefore, this is what the sovereign LORD says: Because you have spoken false words and forecast delusion, look, I am against you, declares the sovereign LORD.
9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council of my people, nor be written in the registry of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the sovereign LORD.
10 "'This is because they have led my people astray saying, "All is well," when things are not well. When anyone builds a wall without mortar, they coat it with whitewash.
11 Tell the ones who coat it with whitewash that it will fall. When there is a deluge of rain, hailstones will fall and a violent wind will break out.
12 When the wall has collapsed, people will ask you, "Where is the whitewash you coated it with?"
13 "'Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: In my rage I will make a violent wind break out. In my anger there will be a deluge of rain and hailstones in destructive fury.
14 I will break down the wall you coated with whitewash and knock it to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. When it falls you will be destroyed beneath it, and you will know that I am the LORD.
15 I will vent my rage against the wall, and against those who coated it with whitewash. Then I will say to you, "The wall is no more and those who whitewashed it are no more�
16 those prophets of Israel who would prophesy about Jerusalem and would see visions of peace for it, when there was no peace," declares the sovereign LORD.'
17 "As for you, son of man, turn toward the daughters of your people who are prophesying from their imagination. Prophesy against them
18 and say 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: Woe to those who sew bands on all their wrists and make headbands for heads of every size to entrap people's lives! Will you entrap my people's lives, yet preserve your own lives?
19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. You have put to death people who should not die and kept alive those who should not live by your lies to my people, who listen to lies!
20 "'Therefore, this is what the sovereign LORD says: Take note that I am against your wristbands with which you entrap people's lives like birds. I will tear them from your arms and will release the people's lives, which you hunt like birds.
21 I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power; they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22 This is because you have disheartened the righteous person with lies (although I have not grieved him), and because you have encouraged the wicked person not to turn from his evil conduct and preserve his life.
23 Therefore you will no longer see false visions and practice divination. I will rescue my people from your power, and you will know that I am the LORD.'"
1 And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
2 Son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy H5012 against H413 the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 that prophesy, H5012 and say H559 thou unto them that prophesy H5030 out of their own hearts H4480 H3820 , Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD; H3068
3 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Woe H1945 unto H5921 the foolish H5036 prophets, H5030 that H834 follow H1980 H310 their own spirit, H7307 and have seen H7200 nothing H1115 !
4 O Israel, H3478 thy prophets H5030 are H1961 like the foxes H7776 in the deserts. H2723
5 Ye have not H3808 gone up H5927 into the gaps, H6556 neither made up H1443 the hedge H1447 for H5921 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 H3808 sent H7971 them : and they have made others to hope H3176 that they would confirm H6965 the word. H1697
7 Have ye not H3808 seen H2372 a vain H7723 vision, H4236 and have ye not spoken H559 a lying H3577 divination, H4738 whereas ye say, H559 The LORD H3068 saith H5002 it ; albeit I H589 have not H3808 spoken H1696 ?
8 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Because H3282 ye have spoken H1696 vanity, H7723 and seen H2372 lies, H3577 therefore, H3651 behold, H2009 I am against H413 you, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
9 And mine hand H3027 shall be H1961 upon H413 the prophets H5030 that see H2372 vanity, H7723 and that divine H7080 lies: H3577 they shall not H3808 be H1961 in the assembly H5475 of my people, H5971 neither H3808 shall they be written H3789 in the writing H3791 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 neither H3808 shall they enter H935 into H413 the land H127 of Israel; H3478 and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
10 Because H3282 , even because H3282 they have seduced H2937 H853 my people, H5971 saying, H559 Peace; H7965 and there was no H369 peace; H7965 and one H1931 built up H1129 a wall, H2434 and, lo, H2009 others daubed H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar :
11 Say H559 unto H413 them which daub H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar , that it shall fall: H5307 there shall be H1961 an overflowing H7857 shower; H1653 and ye, H859 O great hailstones H68 H417 , shall fall; H5307 and a stormy H5591 wind H7307 shall rend H1234 it .
12 Lo H2009 , when the wall H7023 is fallen, H5307 shall it not H3808 be said H559 unto H413 you, Where H346 is the daubing H2915 wherewith H834 ye have daubed H2902 it ?
13 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 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 H1961 an overflowing H7857 shower H1653 in mine anger, H639 and great hailstones H68 H417 in my fury H2534 to consume H3617 it .
14 So will I break down H2040 H853 the wall H7023 that H834 ye have daubed H2902 with untempered H8602 mortar , and bring it down H5060 to H413 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 H3588 I H589 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 mortar , and will say H559 unto you , The wall H7023 is no H369 more , neither H369 they that daubed H2902 it;
16 To wit , the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 which prophesy H5012 concerning H413 Jerusalem, H3389 and which see H2372 visions H2377 of peace H7965 for her , and there is no H369 peace, H7965 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
17 Likewise, thou H859 son H1121 of man, H120 set H7760 thy face H6440 against H413 the daughters H1323 of thy people, H5971 which prophesy H5012 out of H4480 their own heart; H3820 and prophesy H5012 thou against H5921 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 H5921 all H3605 armholes H679 H3027 , and make H6213 kerchiefs H4555 upon H5921 the head H7218 of every H3605 stature H6967 to hunt H6679 souls H5315 ! Will ye hunt H6679 the souls H5315 of my people, H5971 and will ye save the souls alive H2421 H5315 that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute H2490 me among H413 my people H5971 for handfuls H8168 of barley H8184 and for pieces H6595 of bread, H3899 to slay H4191 the souls H5315 that H834 should not H3808 die, H4191 and to save the souls alive H2421 H5315 that H834 should not H3808 live, H2421 by your lying H3576 to my people H5971 that hear H8085 your lies H3577 ?
20 Wherefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I am against H413 your pillows, H3704 wherewith H834 ye H859 there H8033 hunt H6679 H853 the souls H5315 to make them fly, H6524 and I will tear H7167 them from H4480 H5921 your arms, H2220 and will let the souls go H7971 H853 H5315 , even H853 the souls H5315 that H834 ye H859 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 H4480 H3027 , and they shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 in your hand H3027 to be hunted; H4686 and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD. H3068
22 Because H3282 with lies H8267 ye have made the heart H3820 of the righteous H6662 sad, H3512 whom I H589 have not H3808 made sad; H3510 and strengthened H2388 the hands H3027 of the wicked, H7563 that he should not H1115 return H7725 from his wicked way H4480 H1870, H7451 by promising him life: H2421
23 Therefore H3651 ye shall see H2372 no H3808 more H5750 vanity, H7723 nor H3808 divine H7080 divinations: H7081 for I will deliver H5337 H853 my people H5971 out of your hand H4480 H3027 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD. H3068
