13 Then the word of Yahweh was to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel, the ones prophesying, and you shall say to the prophets from their heart, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh! 3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are walking after their spirit but without seeing! 4 Like jackals in the ruins, your prophets have become, Israel. 5 You have not gone up into the breaches, nor have you built a wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle on the day of Yahweh. 6 They have envisioned falsehood and a divination of a lie, the ones saying, “The declaration of Yahweh,” but Yahweh—he has not sent them, and they have hoped to confirm, the word. 7 Have you not envisioned a vision of falsehood and spoken a divination of a lie, and you are saying, “The declaration of Yahweh,” though I, I have not spoken?

8 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have spoken falsehood and have envisioned a lie, therefore, look at me, against you—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh. 9 And my hand will be toward the prophets, the ones envisioning falsehood and the ones divining a lie:

In the council of my people,

they will not be,

and in the writing of the house of Israel,

they will not be written,

and to the land of Israel,

they will not come.

Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

10 Because, and because, they have led my people astray, saying, “Peace!” but there is no peace, and he is building a mortarless wall, and look at them!—smearing it, with plaster.’ 11 Say to the ones smearing, with plaster, and it will fall! There will be a gushing rain, and you, stones of hailstone—you will fall, and a wind of storms will break forth. 12 And look! The wall falls. Will it not be said to you, “Where is the coating that you smeared?”

13 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: So I will break out a wind of storms in my heat, and a gushing rain in my nose will be, and stones of hailstones in heat, to completion. 14 And I will tear down the wall that you smeared, with plaster, and I will make it touch to the ground, and its base will be uncovered. And it will fall, and you will end in the midst of it. Then you will know that I am Yahweh. 15 And I will end my heat on the wall and on the ones smearing it, with plaster, and I will say to you, “There is no wall, and there are none smearing it—16 the prophets of Israel, the ones prophesying to Jerusalem and the ones envisioning for her a vision of peace, but there is no peace”—the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.’

17 But you, son of man—set your face to the daughters of your people, the ones prophesying from their own heart, and prophesy against them. 18 And you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the ones sewing bands on all the joints of my two hands, and the ones making the amulets over the head of every height to hunt lives! Will you hunt the lives of my people but keep alive the lives of yourselves? 19 And you have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for crumbs of bread, to kill lives that should not die and to keep alive lives that should not live, by your lying to my people, the ones hearing, the lie.

20 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Look at me!—against your bands with which you are hunting there the lives like flying ones, and I will tear them from upon your arms, and I will send out the lives that you are hunting—the lives, like flying ones. 21 And I will tear off your amulets, and I will rescue my people from your hand, and they will no longer be in your hand as prey. Then you will know that I am Yahweh. 22 Because of disheartening the heart of a righteous person with falsehood—but I, I have not pained him—and strengthening the hands of a wicked person without turning from his evil way, to keep him alive, 23 therefore, you will no longer envision falsehood, and you will no longer divine a divination! And I will rescue my people from your hand, and you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
