And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Yisra᾽el that prophesy, and say to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear the word of the Lord;

thus says the Lord God; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

O Yisra᾽el, thy prophets are like foxes among ruins.

You have not gone up into the breaches, nor have you built a fence for the house of Yisra᾽el to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.

They have seen vanity and lying divination; they say, The Lord says: and the Lord has not sent them: and they hope that he will confirm the word.

Have you not seen a vain vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination, in that you say, The Lord says; yet I have not spoken?

Therefore thus says the Lord God; Because you have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, says the Lord God,

and my hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the counsel of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Yisra᾽el, neither shall they enter into the land of Yisra᾽el; and you shall know that I am the Lord God.

Because, even because they have led my people astray, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and if anyone builds a wall, these daub it with whitewash:

say to them who daub it with whitewash that it shall fall: there shall be a deluge of rain; and you, O you great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall break out.

Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the daubing with which you daubed it?

Therefore thus says the Lord God; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.

So will I break down the wall that you have daubed with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be laid bare, and it shall fall and you shall be consumed in the midst of it: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall, and upon those who have daubed it with whitewash, and I will say to you. The wall is no more, nor they that daubed it;

namely, the prophets of Yisra᾽el who prophesied concerning Yerushalayim, and saw visions of peace concerning her, when there was no peace, says the Lord God.

And thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

and say, Thus says the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew bands upon all arms, and make veils upon the head of people of every height, for hunting souls! will you hunt the souls of my people, and will you save your own souls alive?

And will you profane 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 who hear your lies?

Therefore, thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against your armbands, with which you hunt the souls there, whisking them off to destruction; and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the souls go free, namely the souls that you hunt, whisking them to destruction.

Your headveils also I will tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Because with lies you have cowed the heart of the righteous whom I have not grieved; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

therefore you shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
