1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying  2 Son of man , prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy , and say you to them that prophesy out of their own hearts , Hear you the word of the LORD  3 So says the Lord GOD ; Woe to the foolish prophets , that follow  their own spirit , and have seen  4 O Israel , your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts  5 You have not gone up into the gaps , neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD  6 They have seen vanity and lying divination , saying , The LORD says : and the LORD has not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word  7 Have you not seen a vain vision , and have you not spoken a lying divination , whereas you say , The LORD says [it]; albeit I have not spoken  8 Therefore so says the Lord GOD ; Because you have spoken vanity , and seen lies , therefore, see, I [am] against you, says the Lord GOD  9 And mine hand will be on the prophets that see vanity , and that divine lies : they will not be in the assembly of my people , neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel , neither will they enter into the land of Israel ; and you will know that I [am] the Lord GOD  10 Because, even because they have seduced my people , saying , Peace ; and [there was] no peace ; and one built up a wall , and, see , others daubed it with untempered  11 Say to them which daub [it] with untempered [morter], that it will fall : there will be an overflowing shower ; and you , O great hailstones  , will fall ; and a stormy wind will rend  12 Lo, when the wall is fallen , will it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which you have daubed  13 Therefore so says the Lord GOD ; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury ; and there will be an overflowing shower in mine anger , and great hailstones  in [my] fury to consume  14 So will I break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered [morter], and bring it down to the ground , so that the foundation of it will be discovered , and it will fall , and you will be consumed in the midst of it: and you will know that I [am] the LORD  15 So will I accomplish my wrath on the wall , and on them that have daubed it with untempered [morter], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither those daubed  16 [To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem , and which see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace , says the Lord GOD  17 Likewise, you son of man , set your face against the daughters of your people , which prophesy out of their own heart ; and prophesy  18 And say , So says the Lord GOD ; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all armholes  , and make kerchiefs on the head of every stature to hunt souls ! Will you hunt the souls of my people , and will you save the souls alive  19 And will you pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread , to kill the souls that should not die , and to save the souls alive that should not live , by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies  20 why so says the Lord GOD ; See, I [am] against your pillows , with which you there hunt the souls to make [them] fly , and I will tear them from your arms , and will let the souls go , [even] the souls that you hunt to make [them] fly  21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear , and deliver my people out of your hand , and they will be no more in your hand to be hunted ; and you will know that I [am] the LORD  22 Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad , who I have not made sad ; and strengthened the hands of the wicked , that he should not return from his wicked way , by promising him life  23 Therefore you will see no more vanity , nor divine divinations : for I will deliver my people out of your hand : and you will know that I [am] the LORD
