And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 that prophesyH5012, and sayH559 thou unto them that prophesyH5030 out of their own heartsH3820, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; {that prophesy out…: Heb. that are prophets out of their own hearts}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH1945 unto the foolishH5036 prophetsH5030, that followH1980+H310 their own spiritH7307, and have seenH7200 nothing! {follow: Heb. walk after} {and…: or, and things which they have not seen}
O IsraelH3478, thy prophetsH5030 are like the foxesH7776 in the desertsH2723.
Ye have not gone upH5927 into the gapsH6556, neither made upH1443 the hedgeH1447 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to standH5975 in the battleH4421 in the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068. {gaps: or, breaches} {made…: Heb. hedged the hedge}
They have seenH2372 vanityH7723 and lyingH3577 divinationH7081, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 saithH5002: and the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 them: and they have made others to hopeH3176 that they would confirmH6965 the wordH1697.
Have ye not seenH2372 a vainH7723 visionH4236, and have ye not spokenH1696 a lyingH3577 divinationH4738, whereas ye sayH559, The LORDH3068 saithH5002 it; albeit I have not spokenH559?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have spokenH1696 vanityH7723, and seenH2372 liesH3577, therefore, behold, I am against you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And mine handH3027 shall be upon the prophetsH5030 that seeH2374 vanityH7723, and that divineH7080 liesH3577: they shall not be in the assemblyH5475 of my peopleH5971, neither shall they be writtenH3789 in the writingH3791 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, neither shall they enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069. {assembly: or, secret, or, counsel}
Because, even because they have seducedH2937 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, PeaceH7965; and there was no peaceH7965; and one built upH1129 a wallH2434, and, loH2009, others daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter: {a wall: or, a slight wall}
SayH559 unto them which daubH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, that it shall fallH5307: there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653; and yeH859, O great hailstonesH417+H68, shall fallH5307; and a stormyH5591 windH7307 shall rendH1234 it.
Lo, when the wallH7023 is fallenH5307, shall it not be saidH559 unto you, Where is the daubingH2915 wherewith ye have daubedH2902 it?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even rendH1234 it with a stormyH5591 windH7307 in my furyH2534; and there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653 in mine angerH639, and great hailstonesH417+H68 in my furyH2534 to consumeH3617 it.
So will I break downH2040 the wallH7023 that ye have daubedH2902 with untemperedH8602 morter, and bringH5060 it down to the groundH776, so that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discoveredH1540, and it shall fallH5307, and ye shall be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 thereof: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus will I accomplishH3615 my wrathH2534 upon the wallH7023, and upon them that have daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, and will sayH559 unto you, The wallH7023 is no more, neither they that daubedH2902 it;
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Likewise, thou sonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the daughtersH1323 of thy peopleH5971, which prophesyH5012 out of their own heartH3820; and prophesyH5012 thou against them,
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH1945 to the women that sewH8609 pillowsH3704 to all armholesH679+H3027, and makeH6213 kerchiefsH4555 upon the headH7218 of every statureH6967 to huntH6679 soulsH5315! Will ye huntH6679 the soulsH5315 of my peopleH5971, and will ye saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that come unto you? {armholes: or, elbows}
And will ye polluteH2490 me among my peopleH5971 for handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and for piecesH6595 of breadH3899, to slayH4191 the soulsH5315 that should not dieH4191, and to saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that should not liveH2421, by your lyingH3576 to my peopleH5971 that hearH8085 your liesH3577?
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against your pillowsH3704, wherewith yeH859 there huntH6679 the soulsH5315 to make them flyH6524, and I will tearH7167 them from your armsH2220, and will let the soulsH5315 goH7971, even the soulsH5315 that ye huntH6679 to make them flyH6524. {to make…: or, into gardens}
Your kerchiefsH4555 also will I tearH7167, and deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027, and they shall be no more in your handH3027 to be huntedH4686; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because with liesH8267 ye have made the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 sadH3512, whom I have not made sadH3510; and strengthenedH2388 the handsH3027 of the wickedH7451, that he should not returnH7725 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, by promising him lifeH2421: {by…: or, that I should save his life: Heb. by quickening him}
Therefore ye shall seeH2372 no more vanityH7723, nor divineH7080 divinationsH7081: for I will deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
