Prophecy Against False Prophets

1

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2

Son of man, prophesy thou against the prophets of Israel that prophesy: and thou shalt say to them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the Lord:

3

Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and see nothing.

4

Thy prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.

5

You have not gone up to face the enemy, nor have you set up a wall for the house of Israel, to stand in battle in the day of the Lord.

6

They see vain things, and they foretell lies, saying: The Lord saith: whereas the Lord hath not sent them: and they have persisted to confirm what they have said.

7

Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination: and you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken.

8

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have spoken vain things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I come against you, saith the Lord God.

9

And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vain things, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
