And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
2
SonH1121 of man,H120 prophesyH5012 againstH413 the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 that prophesy,H5012 and sayH559 you to them that prophesyH5012 out of their own hearts,H3820 HearH8085 you the wordH1697 of the LORD;H3068
3
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 WoeH1945 to the foolishH5036 prophets,H5030 that followH1980 H310 their own spirit,H7307 and have seenH7200 nothing!H1115
4
O Israel,H3478 your prophetsH5030 are like the foxesH7776 in the deserts.H2723
5
You have not goneH5927 up into the gaps,H6556 neither madeH1443 up the hedgeH1447 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to standH5975 in the battleH4421 in the dayH3117 of the LORD.H3068
6
They have seenH2372 vanityH7723 and lyingH3577 divination,H7081 saying,H559 The LORDH3068 said:H5002 and the LORDH3068 has not sentH7971 them: and they have made others to hopeH3176 that they would confirmH6965 the word.H1697
7
Have you not seenH2372 a vainH7723 vision,H4236 and have you not spokenH1696 a lyingH3577 divination,H4738 whereas you say,H559 The LORDH3068 saidH5002 it; albeit I have not spoken?H559
8
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 BecauseH3282 you have spokenH1696 vanity,H7723 and seenH2372 lies,H3576 therefore,H3651 behold,H2005 I am againstH413 you, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
9
And my handH3027 shall be on the prophetsH5030 that seeH2374 vanity,H7723 and that divineH7080 lies:H3576 they shall not be in the assemblyH5475 of my people,H5971 neitherH3808 shall they be writtenH3789 in the writingH3791 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 neitherH3808 shall they enterH935 into the landH127 of Israel;H3478 and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GOD.H3069
10
Because,H3282 even becauseH3282 they have seducedH2937 my people,H5971 saying,H559 Peace;H7965 and there was noH369 peace;H7965 and one builtH1129 up a wall,H2434 and, see,H2009 others daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 mortar:
11
SayH559 to them which daubH2902 it with untemperedH8602 mortar, that it shall fall:H5307 there shall be an overflowingH7857 shower;H1653 and you, O greatH417 hailstones,H68 H417 shall fall;H5307 and a stormyH5591 windH7307 shall rendH1234 it.
12
See,H2009 when the wallH7023 is fallen,H5307 shall it not be saidH559 to you, WhereH346 is the daubingH2915 with whichH834 you have daubedH2902 it?
13
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 I will even rendH1234 it with a stormyH5591 windH7307 in my fury;H2534 and there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653 in my anger,H639 and greatH417 hailstonesH68 H417 in my furyH2534 to consumeH3615 it.
14
SoH3651 will I breakH2040 downH2040 the wallH7023 that you have daubedH2902 with untemperedH8602 mortar, and bringH5060 it down to the ground,H776 soH3651 that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discovered,H1540 and it shall fall,H5307 and you shall be consumedH3615 in the middleH8432 thereof: and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD.H3068
15
Thus will I accomplishH3615 my wrathH2534 on the wall,H7023 and on them that have daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 mortar, and will sayH559 to you, The wallH7023 is noH369 more, neitherH369 they that daubedH2902 it;
16
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerningH413 Jerusalem,H3389 and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is noH369 peace,H7965 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
17
Likewise, you sonH1121 of man,H120 setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 the daughtersH1323 of your people,H5971 which prophesyH5012 out of their own heart;H3820 and prophesyH5012 you againstH5921 them,
18
And say,H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 WoeH1945 to the women that sewH8609 pillowsH3704 to allH3605 armholes,H679 H3027 and makeH6213 kerchiefsH4555 on the headH7218 of everyH3605 statureH6967 to huntH6679 souls!H5315 Will you huntH6679 the soulsH5315 of my people,H5971 and will you saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that come to you?
19
And will you polluteH2490 me amongH413 my peopleH5971 for handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and for piecesH6595 of bread,H3899 to slayH4191 the soulsH5315 that should not die,H4191 and to saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that should not live,H2421 by your lyingH3576 to my peopleH5971 that hearH8085 your lies?H3576
20
WhyH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Behold,H2005 I am againstH413 your pillows,H3704 with whichH834 you thereH8033 huntH6679 the soulsH5315 to make them fly,H6524 and I will tearH7167 them from your arms,H2220 and will let the soulsH5315 go,H7971 even the soulsH5315 that you huntH6679 to make them fly.H6524
21
Your kerchiefsH4555 also will I tear,H7167 and deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your hand,H3027 and they shall be noH3808 moreH5750 in your handH3027 to be hunted;H4686 and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD.H3068
22
BecauseH3282 with liesH3576 you have made the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 sad,H3512 whom I have not made sad;H3510 and strengthenedH2388 the handsH3027 of the wicked,H7451 that he should not returnH7725 from his wickedH7563 way,H1870 by promisingH2421 him life:H2421
23
ThereforeH3651 you shall seeH2372 noH3808 moreH5750 vanity,H7723 norH3808 divineH7081 divinations:H7081 for I will deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your hand:H3027 and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD.H3068
