Ezekiel 13:10-16

10Precisely because they have misled my people, nsaying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, othese prophets smear it with whitewash,
Or plaster; also verses 11, 14, 15
11say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! qThere 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: rI will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, sand 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, tand 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 uand saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.

11 yIts heads give judgment for a bribe;
zits priests teach for a price;
aaits prophets practice divination for money;
abyet they lean on the Lord and acsay,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
adNo disaster shall come upon us.”
