13:1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy and you say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the word of Jehovah.

    13:3 The Lord Jehovah says thus: woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! 13:4 O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

    13:5 You* have not gone up into the gaps, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah. 13:6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, Jehovah says, but Jehovah has not sent them. And they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed. 13:7 Have you* not seen a false vision and have you* not spoken a lying divination, in that you* say, Jehovah says, But I have not spoken?

    13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you* have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you*, says the Lord Jehovah. 13:9 And my hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who divine lies.

    They will not be in the council of my people, nor will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel.

    And you* will know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

    13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace and there is no peace and when a man builds up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered mortar, 13:11 say to those who daub it with untempered mortar, that it will fall.

    There will be an overflowing shower and you*, O great hailstones, will fall and a stormy wind will tear it. 13:12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you*, Where is the daubing with which you* have daubed it?

    13:13 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath and there will be an overflowing shower in my anger and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

    13:14 So I will break down the wall that you* have daubed with untempered mortar and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation of it will be uncovered. And it will fall and you* will be consumed in the midst of it.

    And you* will know that I am Jehovah.

    13:15 Thus I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have daubed it with untempered mortar. And I will say to you*, The wall is no more, nor those who daubed it, 13:16 namely, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem and who see visions of peace for her and there is no peace, says the Lord Jehovah.

    13:17 And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart and prophesy you against them. 13:18And say, The Lord Jehovah says thus: woe to the women who sew pillows upon all elbows and make headdresses for the head of every stature to hunt souls!

    Will you* hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves? 13:19 And 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.

    13:20 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your* pillows, with which you* hunt the souls there to make fly and I will tear them from your* arms. And I will let the souls go, even the souls that you* hunt to make fly. 13:21 I will also tear your* headdresses and deliver my people out of your* hand and they will no more be in your* hand to be hunted.

    And you* will know that I am Jehovah.

    13:22 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. 13:23 Therefore you* will no more see false visions, nor divine divinations. And I will deliver my people out of your* hand.

    And you* will know that I am Jehovah.
