Ezekiel 13:1-23, NLT
Ezekiel 13
Judgment against False Prophets
1Then this message came to me from the Lord:
4“O people of Israel, these prophets of yours are like jackals digging in the ruins.
8“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because what you say is false and your visions are a lie, I will stand against you, says the Sovereign Lord.
10“This will happen because these evil prophets deceive my people by saying, ‘All is peaceful’ when there is no peace at all! It’s as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to reinforce it by covering it with whitewash!
13“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will sweep away your whitewashed wall with a storm of indignation, with a great flood of anger, and with hailstones of fury.
Judgment against False Women Prophets
17“Now, son of man, speak out against the women who prophesy from their own imaginations.
20“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against all your magic charms, which you use to ensnare my people like birds. I will tear them from your arms, setting my people free like birds set free from a cage.
