Steve Webb 0:48Ezekiel chapter 13

Steve Webb 0:51The Lord's word came to me, human one prophesy to Israel's prophets who prophesy from their own imaginations. Say hear the Lord's word. The Lord God proclaims Doom to the foolish prophets who follow their own whims, but see nothing. Israel your profits have been like jackals among ruins. You haven't gone up into the breech are reinforced the wall of the house of Israel so that it might withstand the battle on the day of the Lord. They saw worthless visions and performed deceptive divinations. Even though the Lord didn't send them they said, This is what the Lord says and expected their word to stand. Didn't you see worthless visions? And didn't you report deceptive destinations and say, This is what the Lord says, even though I didn't speak. Therefore, the Lord God proclaims, because you spoke worthless things and had false visions. I'm against you. This is what the Lord God says. I will wield my power against the prophets, those seers of nothingness and diviners of lies. They won't be included in my people's counsel or recorded in the house of Israel's official records, or enter Israel's fertile land, then you will know that I am the Lord. Without a doubt, they lead my people astray, saying peace when there was no peace, and he is building a wall when they were the ones who laid on the plaster, say to those who laid on the plaster that it will fall, when the flooding rains appear, and I said hailstones, it will collapse and the storm winds will break it apart, the wall will certainly fall. What would be said about you, where is your plaster now? Therefore, the Lord God proclaims, in my theory, I will make a storm wind breakout. And in my anger, there will be flooding rains and hailstones and consuming wrath. I will tear down the wall on which you laid plaster, I will raise it to the ground and expose its foundation. When it falls, you will be destroyed with it. And you will know that I am the Lord.
