Ezekiel 13:10-16
10Precisely because they have misled my people, asaying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, bthese prophets smear it with whitewash, ▼▼Or plaster; also verses 11, 14, 15
11say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! dThere will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13Therefore thus says the Lord God: eI will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, fand there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, gand you shall know that I am the Lord. 15Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it, 16the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem hand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God. Ezekiel 13:22
22 iBecause you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and jyou have encouraged the wicked, that khe should not turn from his evil way to save his life,Micah 2:11
11If a man should go about and lutter wind and lies,saying, “I will preach to you mof wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!
