1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. 6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. 7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken? 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD. 9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
10 ¶ Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: 11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter , that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it . 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it ? 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it . 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter , and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter , and will say unto you, The wall is no more , neither they that daubed it; 16 To wit , the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
17 ¶ Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? 19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? 20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: 23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 fili hominis vaticinare ad prophetas Israhel qui prophetant
et dices prophetantibus de corde suo audite verbum Domini
3 haec dicit Dominus Deus vae prophetis insipientibus
qui sequuntur spiritum suum et nihil vident
4 quasi vulpes in desertis prophetae tui Israhel erant
5 non ascendistis ex adverso
neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israhel
ut staretis in proelio in die Domini
6 vident vana et divinant mendacium
dicentes ait Dominus cum Dominus non miserit eos
et perseveraverunt confirmare sermonem
7 numquid non visionem cassam vidistis
et divinationem mendacem locuti estis
et dicitis ait Dominus cum ego non sim locutus
8 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus
quia locuti estis vana et vidistis mendacium
ideo ecce ego ad vos ait Dominus Deus
9 et erit manus mea super prophetas
qui vident vana et divinant mendacium
in concilio populi mei non erunt
et in scriptura domus Israhel non scribentur
nec in terra Israhel ingredientur
et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus
10 eo quod deceperint populum meum dicentes pax et non est pax
et ipse aedificabat parietem
illi autem liniebant eum luto absque paleis
11 dic ad eos qui liniunt absque temperatura
quod casurus sit
erit enim imber inundans
et dabo lapides praegrandes desuper inruentes
et ventum procellae dissipantem
12 siquidem ecce cecidit paries
numquid non dicetur vobis
ubi est litura quam levistis
13 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus
et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea
et imber inundans in furore meo erit
et lapides grandes in ira in consummationem
14 et destruam parietem
quem levistis absque
temperamento
et adaequabo eum terrae et revelabitur fundamentum eius
et cadet et consumetur in medio eius
et scietis quia ego sum Dominus
15 et conplebo indignationem meam in parietem
et in his qui linunt eum
absque temperamento
dicamque vobis non est paries
et non sunt qui linunt eum
16 prophetae Israhel qui prophetant ad Hierusalem
et vident ei visionem pacis et non est pax ait Dominus Deus
17 et tu fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui
quae prophetant de corde suo
et vaticinare super eas
18 et dic
haec ait Dominus Deus
vae quae consuunt pulvillos sub omni cubito
manus
et faciunt cervicalia sub capite universae aetatis
ad capiendas animas
cum caperent animas populi mei vivificabant animas eorum
19 et violabant me ad populum meum
propter pugillum hordei et fragmen panis
ut interficerent animas quae non moriuntur
et vivificarent animas quae non vivunt
mentientes populo meo credenti mendaciis
20 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus
ecce ego ad pulvillos vestros quibus vos capitis animas volantes
et disrumpam eos de brachiis vestris
et dimittam animas quas vos capitis animas ad volandum
21 et disrumpam cervicalia vestra
et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra
neque erunt ultra in manibus vestris ad praedandum
et scietis quia ego Dominus
22 pro eo quod maerere fecistis cor iusti mendaciter
quem ego non contristavi
et confortastis manus impii
ut non reverteretur a via sua mala et viveret
23 propterea vana non videbitis
et divinationes non divinabitis amplius
et eruam populum meum de manu vestra
et scietis quoniam ego Dominus
