Ezekiel 13:8-16

8 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “Because you have spoken ^{▼▼ Lit vanity}falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, ^bI am against you,” declares the Lord God. 9 “So My hand will be against the ^cprophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will ^{▼▼ Lit not be in}have no place in the council of My people, ^enor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, ^{▼▼ Or and you will know}that you may know that I am the Lord God. 10 “It is definitely because they have ^gmisled My people by saying, ‘ ^hPeace!’ when there is ⁱno peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash; 11 so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall. A ^jflooding rain will come, and you, O hailstones, will fall; and a violent wind will break out. 12 “Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, ‘Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?’” 13 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and ^khailstones to consume it in wrath. 14 “So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its ^lfoundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be ^mconsumed in its midst. And you will ⁿknow that I am the Lord. 15 “Thus I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it over with whitewash; and I will say to you, ‘The wall ^{▼▼ Lit is not...are not}is gone and its plasterers are gone, 16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who ^psee visions of peace for her when there is ^qno peace,’ declares the Lord God.
