Ezekiel 13:8–16

⁸Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because of your speaking falseness and because you envisioned a lie, therefore, look! I am against you!” declaresⁿ the Lord Yahweh. ⁹“And it will be my hand against the prophets who are seeing falseness and who are practicing lying divination. They will not be in the council of my people, and they will not be written down in the record book of the house of Israel, and into^o the land of Israel they will not come, and then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh. ¹⁰Because, yes, because they led my people astray, saying^p ‘Peace!’ And there is not peace. And when anyone^q builds a flimsy wall, look, they coat it with whitewash. ¹¹Say to those covering it with whitewash that it will fall; there will be a torrent of rain,^r and I will give stones of hail; they will fall! ^s And a windstorm^t will burst forth! ¹²And look! When the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’ ¹³Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘And so I will let burst forth a windstorm^u in my rage, and there will be a torrent of rain^v in my anger, and hailstones in my rage for complete destruction.^{w 14}And I will break down the wall that you covered with whitewash, and I will knock it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed, and it will fall, and you will come to an end in the midst of it, and you will know that I am Yahweh! ¹⁵And I will fully vent my rage against the wall and against those covering it with whitewash, and I will say to you, “The wall is no more,^x and the people covering it are no more,^{y 16}that is, the prophets of Israel, the ones prophesying concerning Jerusalem and the ones seeing visions of peace, and there is not peace!’ ” ” declares^z the Lord Yahweh.
