1 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> (8734) against the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478> that prophesy <05012> (8737), and say <0559> (8804) thou unto them that prophesy <05030> out of their own hearts <03820>, Hear <08085> (8798) ye the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;
3 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe <01945> unto the foolish <05036> prophets <05030>, that follow <01980> (8802) <0310> their own spirit <07307>, and have seen <07200> (8804) nothing!
4 O Israel <03478>, thy prophets <05030> are like the foxes <07776> in the deserts <02723>.
5 Ye have not gone up <05927> (8804) into the gaps <06556>, neither made up <01443> (8799) the hedge <01447> for the house <01004> of Israel <03478> to stand <05975> (8800) in the battle <04421> in the day <03117> of the LORD <03068>.
6 They have seen <02372> (8804) vanity <07723> and lying <03577> divination <07081>, saying <0559> (8802), The LORD <03068> saith <05002> (8803): and the LORD <03068> hath not sent <07971> (8804) them: and they have made others to hope <03176> (8765) that they would confirm <06965> (8763) the word <01697>.
7 Have ye not seen <02372> (8804) a vain <07723> vision <04236>, and have ye not spoken <01696> (8765) a lying <03577> divination <04738>, whereas ye say <0559> (8802), The LORD <03068> saith <05002> (8803) it ; albeit I have not spoken <0559> (8804)?
8 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because ye have spoken <01696> (8763) vanity <07723>, and seen <02372> (8804) lies <03577>, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
9 And mine hand <03027> shall be upon the prophets <05030> that see <02374> vanity <07723>, and that divine <07080> (8802) lies <03577>: they shall not be in the assembly <05475> of my people <05971>, neither shall they be written <03789> (8735) in the writing <03791> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, neither shall they enter <0935> (8799) into the land <0127> of Israel <03478>; and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I am the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
10 # Because, even because they have seduced <02937> (8689) my people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), Peace <07965>; and there was no peace <07965>; and one built up <01129> (8802) a wall <02434>, and, lo <02009>, others daubed <02902> (8802) it with untempered <08602> morter:
11 Say <0559> (8798) unto them which daub <02902> (8802) it with untempered <08602> morter, that it shall fall <05307> (8799): there shall be an overflowing <07857> (8802) shower <01653>; and ye <0859>, O great hailstones <0417> <068>, shall fall <05307> (8799); and a stormy <05591> wind <07307> shall rend <01234> (8762) it.
12 Lo, when the wall <07023> is fallen <05307> (8804), shall it not be said <0559> (8735) unto you, Where is the daubing <02915> wherewith ye have daubed <02902> (8804) it?
13 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will even rend <01234> (8765) it with a stormy <05591> wind <07307> in my fury <02534>; and there shall be an overflowing <07857> (8802) shower <01653> in mine anger <0639>, and great hailstones <0417> <068> in my fury <02534> to consume <03617> it.
14 So will I break down <02040> (8804) the wall <07023> that ye have daubed <02902> (8804) with untempered <08602> morter, and bring <05060> (8689) it down to the ground <0776>, so that the foundation <03247> thereof shall be discovered <01540> (8738), and it shall fall <05307> (8804), and ye shall be consumed <03615> (8804) in the midst <08432> thereof: and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>.
15 Thus will I accomplish <03615> (8765) my wrath <02534> upon the wall <07023>, and upon them that have daubed <02902> (8802) it with untempered <08602> morter, and will say <0559> (8799) unto you, The wall <07023> is no more , neither they that daubed <02902> (8802) it;
16 To wit, the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478> which prophesy <05012> (8737) concerning Jerusalem <03389> , and which see <02374> visions <02377> of peace <07965> for her, and there is no peace <07965>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
17 # Likewise, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> (8798) thy face <06440> against the daughters <01323> of thy people <05971>, which prophesy <05012> (8693) out of their own heart <03820>; and prophesy <05012> (8734) thou against them,
18 And say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe <01945> to the women that sew <08609> (8764) pillows <03704> to all armholes <0679> <03027>, and make <06213> (8802) kerchiefs <04555> upon the head <07218> of every stature <06967> to hunt <06679> (8780) souls <05315>! Will ye hunt <06679> (8779) the souls <05315> of my people <05971>, and will ye save <02421> <00> the souls <05315> alive <02421> (8762) that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute <02490> (8762) me among my people <05971> for handfuls <08168> of barley <08184> and for pieces <06595> of bread <03899>, to slay <04191> (8687) the souls <05315> that should not die <04191> (8799), and to save <02421> <00> the souls <05315> alive <02421> (8763) that should not live <02421> (8799), by your lying <03576> (8763) to my people <05971> that hear <08085> (8802) your lies <03577>?
20 Wherefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold, I am against your pillows <03704> , wherewith ye <0859> there hunt <06679> (8781) the souls <05315> to make them fly <06524> (8802), and I will tear <07167> (8804) them from your arms <02220>, and will let the souls <05315> go <07971> (8765), even the souls <05315> that ye hunt <06679> (8781) to make them fly <06524> (8802).
21 Your kerchiefs <04555> also will I tear <07167> (8804), and deliver <05337> (8689) my people <05971> out of your hand <03027>, and they shall be no more in your hand <03027> to be hunted <04686>; and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>.
22 Because with lies <08267> ye have made the heart <03820> of the righteous <06662> sad <03512> (8687), whom I have not made sad <03510> (8689); and strengthened <02388> (8763) the hands <03027> of the wicked <07451>, that he should not return <07725> (8800) from his wicked <07563> way <01870>, by promising him life <02421> (8687):
23 Therefore ye shall see <02372> (8799) no more vanity <07723>, nor divine <07080> (8799) divinations <07081> : for I will deliver <05337> (8689) my people <05971> out of your hand <03027>: and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>.
