Ezekiel 13:6-16

6 ^aThey have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the Lord,’ ^bwhen the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word. 7 Have you not seen a false vision and uttered a lying divination, ^cwhenever you have said, ‘Declares the Lord,’ although I have not spoken?”

8 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have uttered falsehood and seen lying visions, therefore behold, ^dI am against you, declares the Lord God. 9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, ^enor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, ^fnor shall they enter the land of Israel. ^gAnd you shall know that I am the Lord God. 10 Precisely because they have misled my people, ^hsaying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, ⁱthese prophets smear it with whitewash, ^{▼▼Or plaster; also verses 11, 14, 15} 11 say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! ^kThere will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ 13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^lI will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, ^mand there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14 And 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, ⁿand you shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus 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, 16 the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem ^oand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 13:22

22 ^pBecause you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and ^qyou have encouraged the wicked, that ^rhe should not turn from his evil way to save his life,

Ezekiel 22:28

28 And ^sher prophets have smeared whitewash for them, ^tseeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

Habakkuk 2:18

18 ^u“What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, ^va teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes ^wspeechless idols!

Romans 1:25

25 because they exchanged the truth about God for ^xa lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, ^ywho is blessed forever! Amen.
