13:8-9 The false prophets’ desire for personal safety would be counterproductive. They would be banished from the community and would never again set foot in their own land.
False Prophets
The Bible tells of many individuals who set themselves up as prophets on their own authority. They had no true calling from God but nonetheless claimed to speak for him. Often it was hard for people to discern the difference between true and false prophets, especially since false prophets usually told them what they wanted to hear (see, e.g., 1 Kgs 22:10-14; Jer 28:1-4).
Because of this difficulty, and the Lord’s merciful delay in bringing judgment upon his rebellious people, many people doubted that God’s word through his true prophets would ever be fulfilled (see Isa 5:19). Others denied that anything would happen within their lifetimes. Might not the punishment that had so often been delayed be delayed a little longer?
Ezekiel prophesied that in the coming judgment upon Jerusalem, false prophets would be cut off so that people would no longer be confused about who the true prophets were (Ezek 13:8-9). There would also be no more delay to God’s judgment—the Lord was coming very soon to fulfill the words he had spoken (13:11). Everyone would see which words God had really spoken and which words the false prophets had conjured out of their own imaginations.
Jesus warned of the presence of false prophets in the future (Matt 24:11-28), and his early followers encountered numerous false prophets (see, e.g., Acts 13:6-12; 2 Pet 2:1-3). Believers can often recognize false prophets by their incorrect teaching about Christ, which demonstrates that they are not operating under the Spirit of God (1 Jn 4:1-3).

(Occurrence 0) My hand will be against the prophets
(Some words not found in UHB: and,be hand,my to/near the,prophets the,see_~_visions false and,the,utter_~_divinations lying in/on/at/with,council people,my not be and,in/on/at/with,register house_of Yisrael not enrolled and=near/to land Yisrael not they_went and,know that/for/because/then/when I my=master GOD )
Here the word “hand” represents Yahweh’s power. That his hand will be against them is a metaphor that means that he will punish them with his power. Alternate translation: “I will punish the prophets” (See also: figs-metaphor)
(Occurrence 0) They will not be in the assembly of my people
(Some words not found in UHB: and,be hand,my to/near the,prophets the,see_~_visions false and,the,utter_~_divinations lying in/on/at/with,council people,my not be and,in/on/at/with,register house_of Yisrael not enrolled and=near/to land Yisrael not they_went and,know that/for/because/then/when I my=master GOD )
This means that Yahweh will not consider these false prophets to be part of the people of Israel.

(Occurrence 0) or enrolled in the record of the house of Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and,be hand,my to/near the,prophets the,see_~_visions false and,the,utter_~_divinations lying in/on/at/with,council people,my not be and,in/on/at/with,register house_of Yisrael not enrolled and=near/to land Yisrael not they_went and,know that/for/because/then/when I my=master GOD )
This probably refers to an official record of the citizens of Israel. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “nor will anyone enroll their names in the record of the house of Israel”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) the house of Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and,be hand,my to/near the,prophets the,see_~_visions false and,the,utter_~_divinations lying in/on/at/with,council people,my not be and,in/on/at/with,register house_of Yisrael not enrolled and=near/to land Yisrael not they_went and,know that/for/because/then/when I my=master GOD )
The word “house” is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 3:1. Alternate translation: “the Israelite people group”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) know that I am the Lord Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and,be hand,my to/near the,prophets the,see_~_visions false and,the,utter_~_divinations lying in/on/at/with,council people,my not be and,in/on/at/with,register house_of Yisrael not enrolled and=near/to land Yisrael not they_went and,know that/for/because/then/when I my=master GOD )
When Yahweh says that people will know that he is Yahweh, he is implying that they will know that he is the one true God who has supreme authority and power. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 6:7. Alternate translation: “understand that I am the Lord Yahweh, the one true God” or “realize that I, the Lord Yahweh, have supreme power and authority”
