And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} prophesy{H5012} against the prophets{H5030} of Israel{H3478} that prophesy,{H5012} and say{H559} thou unto them that prophesy{H5030} out of their own heart,{H3820} Hear{H8085} ye the word{H1697} of Jehovah:{H3068}

Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} Woe{H1945} unto the foolish{H5036} prophets,{H5030} that follow{H1980} their own spirit,{H7307} and have seen{H7200} nothing!

O Israel,{H3478} thy prophets{H5030} have been like foxes{H7776} in the waste places.{H2723}

Ye have not gone up{H5927} into the gaps,{H6556} neither built up{H1443} the wall{H1447} for the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} to stand{H5975} in the battle{H4421} in the day{H3117} of Jehovah.{H3068}

They have seen{H2372} falsehood{H7723} and lying{H3577} divination,{H7081} that say,{H559} Jehovah{H3068} saith;{H5002} but Jehovah{H3068} hath not sent{H7971} them: and they have made men to hope{H3176} that the word{H1697} would be confirmed.{H6965}

Have ye not seen{H2372} a false{H7723} vision,{H4236} and have ye not spoken{H1696} a lying{H3577} divination,{H4738} in that ye say,{H559} Jehovah{H3068} saith;{H5002} albeit I have not spoken?{H559}

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} Because ye have spoken{H1696} falsehood,{H7723} and seen{H2372} lies,{H3577} therefore, behold, I am against you, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

And my hand{H3027} shall be against the prophets{H5030} that see{H2374} false{H7723} visions, and that divine{H7080} lies:{H3577} they shall not be in the council{H5475} of my people,{H5971} neither shall they be written{H3789} in the writing{H3791} of the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} neither shall they enter{H935} into the land{H127} of Israel;{H3478} and ye shall know{H3045} that I am the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

Because, even because they have seduced{H2937} my people,{H5971} saying,{H559} Peace;{H7965} and there is no peace;{H7965} and when one buildeth up{H1129} a wall,{H2434} behold,{H2009} they daub{H2902} it with untempered{H8602} [mortar]:

say{H559} unto them that daub{H2902} it with untempered{H8602} [mortar], that it shall fall:{H5307} there shall be an overflowing{H7857} shower;{H1653} and ye,{H859} O great hailstones,{H417} shall fall;{H5307} and a stormy{H5591} wind{H7307} shall rend{H1234} it.

Lo, when the wall{H7023} is fallen,{H5307} shall it not be said{H559} unto you, Where is the daubing{H2915} wherewith ye have daubed{H2902} it?

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} I will even rend{H1234} it with a stormy{H5591} wind{H7307} in my wrath;{H2534} and there shall be an overflowing{H7857} shower{H1653} in mine anger,{H639} and great hailstones{H417} in wrath{H2534} to consume{H3617} it.

So will I break down{H2040} the wall{H7023} that ye have daubed{H2902} with untempered{H8602} [mortar], and bring{H5060} it down to the ground,{H776} so that the foundation{H3247} thereof shall be uncovered;{H1540} and it shall fall,{H5307} and ye shall be consumed{H3615} in the midst{H8432} thereof: and ye shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068}

Thus will I accomplish{H3615} my wrath{H2534} upon the wall,{H7023} and upon them that have daubed{H2902} it with untempered{H8602} [mortar]; and I will say{H559} unto you, The wall{H7023} is no more, neither they that daubed{H2902} it;

[ to wit], the prophets{H5030} of Israel{H3478} that prophesy{H5012} concerning Jerusalem,{H3389} and that see{H2374} visions{H2377} of peace{H7965} for her, and there is no peace,{H7965} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

And thou, son{H1121} of man,{H120} set{H7760} thy face{H6440} against the daughters{H1323} of thy people,{H5971} that prophesy{H5012} out of their own heart;{H3820} and prophesy{H5012} thou against them,

and say,{H559} Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} Woe{H1945} to the women that sew{H8609} pillows{H3704} upon all elbows,{H679} and make{H6213} kerchiefs{H4555} for the head{H7218} of [persons of] every stature{H6967} to hunt{H6679} souls!{H5315} Will ye hunt{H6679} the souls{H5315} of my people,{H5971} and save{H2421} souls{H5315} alive{H2421} for yourselves?

And ye have profaned{H2490} me among my people{H5971} for handfuls{H8168} of barley{H8184} and for pieces{H6595} of bread,{H3899} to slay{H4191} the souls{H5315} that should not die,{H4191} and to save{H2421} the souls{H5315} alive{H2421} that should not live,{H2421} by your lying{H3576} to my people{H5971} that hearken{H8085} unto lies.{H3577}

Wherefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} Behold, I am against your pillows,{H3704} wherewith ye{H859} there hunt{H6679} the souls{H5315} to make [them] fly,{H6524} and I will tear{H7167} them from your arms;{H2220} and I will let the souls{H5315} go,{H7971} even the souls{H5315} that ye hunt{H6679} to make [them] fly.{H6524}

Your kerchiefs{H4555} also will I tear,{H7167} and deliver{H5337} my people{H5971} out of your hand,{H3027} and they shall be no more in your hand{H3027} to be hunted;{H4686} and ye shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068}

Because with lies{H8267} ye have grieved{H3512} the heart{H3820} of the righteous,{H6662} whom I have not made sad;{H3512} and strengthened{H2388} the hands{H3027} of the wicked,{H7451} that he should not return{H7725} from his wicked{H7563} way,{H1870} and be saved alive;{H2421}

therefore ye shall no more see{H2372} false{H7723} visions, nor divine{H7080} divinations:{H7081} and I will deliver{H5337} my people{H5971} out of your hand;{H3027} and ye shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068}
