Reproof of False Prophets
1 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
2 Son of man prophesy to the Prophets of Israel, that prophesy: and thou shalt say to them, that prophesy of their own heart: Hear ye the word of our Lord:📜💬📚
3 Thus saith our Lord God: Woe to the foolish Prophets, which follow their own spirit, and see nothing.📜💬📚
4 As foxes in the deserts, were thy Prophets o Israel.📜💬📚
5 You have not ascended against, nor opposed a wall for the house of Israel, that you might stand in battle in the day of our Lord.📜💬📚
6 They see vain things, and they divine lies, saying: Our Lord saith: whereas our Lord sent them not: and they persevered to confirm the word.📜💬📚
7 Why, have you not seen vain vision, and spoken lying divination? And you say: Our Lord saith; whereas I have not spoken.📜💬📚
8 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Because you have spoken vain things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I to you, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
9 And my hand shall be upon the Prophets, that see vain things, and divine a lie: in the counsel of my people they shall not be, & in the scripture of the house of Israel they shall not be written, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.📜💬📚
10 For that they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is not peace: and he builded the wall, and they daubed it with mortar without straw.📜💬📚
11 Say to them that daub without tempering, that it shall fall: for there shall be a shower overflowing, and I will give very great stones falling violently from above, and the wind of a storm dissipating.📜💬📚
12 For indeed behold the wall is fallen: shall it not be said to you: Where is the daubing, that you daubed?📜💬📚
13 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: And I will make the spirit of tempests to break forth in mine indignation, and there shall be an overflowing showering in my fury: & great stones in my wrath unto consumption.📜💬📚
14 And I will destroy the wall, that you have daubed without tempering: & I will make it even with the ground, and the foundation thereof shall be revealed: and it shall fall, and shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
15 And I will accomplish mine indignation in the wall, and in them, that daub it without tempering, and I will say to you: The wall is not, and they are not that daub it.📜💬📚
16 The Prophets of Israel, which prophesy to Jerusalem, & see vision of peace for it: and there is not peace, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
Reproof of False Prophetesses
17 And thou son of man, put thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy of their own heart: and do thou prophesy upon them,📜💬📚
18 and say: Thus saith our Lord God: woe to them that sow cushions under every cubit of the hand: and make pillows under the head of every age to catch souls: and when they caught the souls of my people, they did vivificate their souls.📜💬📚
19 And they violated me to my people, for a handful of barley, and a cantel of a bread, that they might kill the souls, which die not, and vivificate the souls which live not, lying to my people, that believeth lies.📜💬📚
20 For this cause thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to your cushions, wherewith you catch flying souls: and I will break them from your arms: and I will let go the souls that you take, the souls to fly📜💬📚
21 And I will break your pillows, & will deliver my people out of your hand, neither shall they be any more in your hands to be a prey: and you shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
22 For that you have made the heart of the just to mourn lyingly, whom I made not sorrowful: and have strengthened the hands of the impious, that he might not return from his evil way, and live.📜💬📚
23 Therefore you shall not see vain things, and divinations you shall divine no more, and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
