“Son of man, preach against the prophets of Israel who are making things up out of their own heads and calling it ‘prophesying.’
2–6“Preach to them the real thing. Tell them, ‘Listen to God’s Message!’ God, the Master, pronounces doom on the empty-headed prophets who do their own thing and know nothing of what’s going on! Your prophets, Israel, are like jackals scavenging through the ruins.
