Ezekiel - Chapter 13 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I it}; albeit I have not spoken?
  • 8. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I {cf15I 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 {cf15I am} the Lord GOD.
  • 10. Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and {cf15I there was} no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered {cf15I morter}:
  • 11. Say unto them which daub {cf15I it} with untempered {cf15I morter}, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend {cf15I it}.
  • 12. Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where {cf15I is} the daubing wherewith ye have daubed {cf15I it}?
  • 13. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend {cf15I it} with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in {cf15I my} fury to consume {cf15I it}.
  • 14. So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered {cf15I 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 {cf15I am} the LORD.
  • 15. Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered {cf15I morter}, and will say unto you, The wall {cf15I is} no {cf15I more}, neither they that daubed it;
  • 16. {cf15I To wit}, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I your} lies?
  • 20. Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I {cf15I am} against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make {cf15I them} fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, {cf15I even} the souls that ye hunt to make {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I am} the LORD.
