1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
1. And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, Alex. +’that prophesy, and thou shalt say to the prophets that prophesy out of their own heart.’ and thou shalt prophesy, and shalt say to them, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , prophesy H5012 against H413 the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 that prophesy H5012 , and say H559 thou unto them that prophesy H5030 out of their own hearts H4480 H3820 , Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 ;
|
|
3. Thus saith the Lord, Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all.
|
3. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Woe H1945 unto H5921 the foolish H5036 prophets H5030 , that H834 follow H1980 H310 their own spirit H7307 , and have seen H7200 nothing H1115 !
|
|
4. Thy prophets, O Israel, are like foxes in the deserts.
|
4. O Israel H3478 , thy prophets H5030 are H1961 like the foxes H7776 in the deserts H2723 .
|
|
5. They have not continued steadfast, and they have gathered flocks against the house of Israel, they that say,
|
5. Ye have not H3808 gone up H5927 into the gaps H6556 , neither made up H1443 the hedge H1447 for H5921 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 to stand H5975 in the battle H4421 in the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
6. In the day of the Lord, have not Or, stood up, or, risen up stood, seeing false visions, prophesying vanities, who say, The Lord saith, and the Lord has not sent them, and they began to try to confirm the word.
|
6. They have seen H2372 vanity H7723 and lying H3577 divination H7081 , saying H559 , The LORD H3068 saith H5002 : and the LORD H3068 hath not H3808 sent H7971 them : and they have made others to hope H3176 that they would confirm H6965 the word H1697 .
|
|
7. Have ye not seen a false vision? and spoken vain prophecies?
|
7. Have ye not H3808 seen H2372 a vain H7723 vision H4236 , and have ye not spoken H559 a lying H3577 divination H4738 , whereas ye say H559 , The LORD H3068 saith H5002 it ; albeit I H589 have not H3808 spoken H1696 ?
|
|
8. And therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; Because your words are false, and your prophecies are vain, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord.
|
8. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 ye have spoken H1696 vanity H7723 , and seen H2372 lies H3577 , therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , I am against H413 you, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
9. And I will stretch forth my hand against the prophets that see false visions, and those that utter vanities: they shall not partake of the Or, correction instruction of my people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
|
9. And mine hand H3027 shall be H1961 upon H413 the prophets H5030 that see H2372 vanity H7723 , and that divine H7080 lies H3577 : they shall not H3808 be H1961 in the assembly H5475 of my people H5971 , neither H3808 shall they be written H3789 in the writing H3791 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , neither H3808 shall they enter H935 into H413 the land H127 of Israel H3478 ; and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
10. Because they have caused my people to err, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and they plaster it, —it shall fall.
|
10. Because H3282 , even because H3282 they have seduced H2937 H853 my people H5971 , saying H559 , Peace H7965 ; and there was no H369 peace H7965 ; and one H1931 built up H1129 a wall H2434 , and, lo H2009 , others daubed H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar :
|
|
11. Say to them that plaster it, It shall fall; and there shall be a flooding rain; and I will send great stones upon their joinings, and they shall fall; and there shall be a sweeping wind, and it shall be broken.
|
11. Say H559 unto H413 them which daub H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar , that it shall fall H5307 : there shall be H1961 an overflowing H7857 shower H1653 ; and ye H859 , O great hailstones H68 H417 , shall fall H5307 ; and a stormy H5591 wind H7307 shall rend H1234 it .
|
|
12. And lo! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Or, What is become of? See 2 Pe 3:4 Where is your plaster wherewith ye plastered it?
|
12. Lo H2009 , when the wall H7023 is fallen H5307 , shall it not H3808 be said H559 unto H413 you, Where H346 is the daubing H2915 wherewith H834 ye have daubed H2902 it ?
|
|
13. Therefore thus saith the Lord; I will even cause to burst forth a sweeping blast with fury, and there shall be a flooding rain in my wrath; and in my fury I will bring on great stones for complete destruction.
|
13. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will even rend H1234 it with a stormy H5591 wind H7307 in my fury H2534 ; and there shall be H1961 an overflowing H7857 shower H1653 in mine anger H639 , and great hailstones H68 H417 in my fury H2534 to consume H3617 it .
|
|
14. And I will break down the wall which ye have plastered, and it shall fall; and I will lay it on the ground, and its foundations shall be discovered, and it shall fall; and ye shall be consumed with rebukes: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
|
14. So will I break down H2040 H853 the wall H7023 that H834 ye have daubed H2902 with untempered H8602 mortar , and bring it down H5060 to H413 the ground H776 , so that the foundation H3247 thereof shall be discovered H1540 , and it shall fall H5307 , and ye shall be consumed H3615 in the midst H8432 thereof : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. And I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that plaster it; it shall fall: and I said to you, The wall is not, nor they that plaster it,
|
15. Thus will I accomplish H3615 H853 my wrath H2534 upon the wall H7023 , and upon them that have daubed H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar , and will say H559 unto you , The wall H7023 is no H369 more , neither H369 they that daubed H2902 it;
|
|
16. even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord.
|
16. To wit , the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 which prophesy H5012 concerning H413 Jerusalem H3389 , and which see H2372 visions H2377 of peace H7965 for her , and there is no H369 peace H7965 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
17. And thou, son of man, set thy face firmly against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them.
|
17. Likewise, thou H859 son H1121 of man H120 , set H7760 thy face H6440 against H413 the daughters H1323 of thy people H5971 , which prophesy H5012 out of H4480 their own heart H3820 ; and prophesy H5012 thou against H5921 them,
|
|
18. And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Woe to the women that sew pillows under every elbow, and make kerchiefs on the head of every stature to pervert souls! The souls of my people are perverted, and they have saved souls alive.
|
18. And say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Woe H1945 to the women that sew H8609 pillows H3704 to H5921 all H3605 armholes H679 H3027 , and make H6213 kerchiefs H4555 upon H5921 the head H7218 of every H3605 stature H6967 to hunt H6679 souls H5315 ! Will ye hunt H6679 the souls H5315 of my people H5971 , and will ye save the souls alive H2421 H5315 that come unto you?
|
|
19. And they have Gr. profaned dishonoured me before my people for a handful of barley, and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls which should not die, and to save alive the souls which should not live, while ye speak to a people hearing vain speeches.
|
19. And will ye pollute H2490 me among H413 my people H5971 for handfuls H8168 of barley H8184 and for pieces H6595 of bread H3899 , to slay H4191 the souls H5315 that H834 should not H3808 die H4191 , and to save the souls alive H2421 H5315 that H834 should not H3808 live H2421 , by your lying H3576 to my people H5971 that hear H8085 your lies H3577 ?
|
|
20. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against your pillows, Or, on which ye gather whereby ye there confound souls, and I will tear them away from your arms, and will set at liberty their souls which ye pervert to scatter them.
|
20. Wherefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H413 your pillows H3704 , wherewith H834 ye H859 there H8033 hunt H6679 H853 the souls H5315 to make them fly H6524 , and I will tear H7167 them from H4480 H5921 your arms H2220 , and will let the souls go H7971 H853 H5315 , even H853 the souls H5315 that H834 ye H859 hunt H6679 to make them fly H6524 .
|
|
21. And I will tear your Kerchiefs, and will rescue my people out of your hands, and they shall no longer be in your hands to be confounded; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
|
21. H853 Your kerchiefs H4555 also will I tear H7167 , and deliver H5337 H853 my people H5971 out of your hand H4480 H3027 , and they shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 in your hand H3027 to be hunted H4686 ; and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
22. Because ye have perverted the heart of the righteous, whereas I perverted him not, and that in order to strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not at all turn from his evil way and live:
|
22. Because H3282 with lies H8267 ye have made the heart H3820 of the righteous H6662 sad H3512 , whom I H589 have not H3808 made sad H3510 ; and strengthened H2388 the hands H3027 of the wicked H7563 , that he should not H1115 return H7725 from his wicked way H4480 H1870 H7451 , by promising him life H2421 :
|
|
23. therefore ye shall not see false visions, and ye shall no more utter prophecies: but I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
|
23. Therefore H3651 ye shall see H2372 no H3808 more H5750 vanity H7723 , nor H3808 divine H7080 divinations H7081 : for I will deliver H5337 H853 my people H5971 out of your hand H4480 H3027 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
