Ezekiel 13

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

2 “Son of man, you are to prophesy against the prophets of Israel who right now are busy prophesying. Tell those who make up their own prophecies: Listen to the word of the Lord!

son: child man to prophesy to(wards) prophet Israel [the] to prophesy and to say to/for prophet from heart their to hear: hear word LORD

3 This is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to these foolish prophets who follow their own ideas. They haven't seen anything.

thus to say Lord YHWH/God woe! upon [the] prophet [the] foolish which to go: follow after spirit their and to/for lest to see: see

4 Israel, your prophets are like foxes that live in the ruins.

like/as fox in/on/with desolation prophet your Israel to be

5 They didn't go and help repair the gaps in the wall that defends the people of Israel so that it would stand secure during the battle on the Day of the Lord.

not to ascend: rise in/on/with breach and to wall up/off wall upon house: household Israel to/for to stand: stand in/on/with battle in/on/with day LORD

6 The visions they see are false, and the prophecies they give are lies. They claim, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ when the Lord didn't send them. Even so they still expect their message to be fulfilled!

to see vanity: false and divination lie [the] to say utterance LORD and LORD not to send: depart them and to wait: hope to/for to arise: establish word

7 Isn't it a false vision that you people saw? Isn't it a prophecy of lies when you announce, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ even though I haven't said anything?

not vision vanity: false to see and divination lie to say and to say utterance LORD and I not to speak: speak

8 So this is what the Lord God says: Since you've spoken lies and claimed to see false visions, then watch out, because I'm against you, declares the Lord God.

to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God because to speak: speak you vanity: false and to see lie to/for so look! I to(wards) you utterance Lord YHWH/God

9 I will punish the prophets who see false visions and give prophecies that are lies. They will not belong to the assembly of my people or be listed in the register of Israelites, and they won't be allowed to enter the country of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.

and to be hand: power my to(wards) [the] prophet [the] to see vanity: false and [the] to divine lie in/on/with counsel people my not to be and in/on/with writing house: household Israel not to write and to(wards) land: soil Israel not to come (in): come and to know for I Lord YHWH/God

10 They have deceived my people by saying, ‘We shall have peace,’ when there won't be any peace. It's like they're putting a coat of whitewash on an unstable wall of loose stones that the people have built.

because and in/on/with because to stray [obj] people my to/for to say peace and nothing peace and he/she/it to build wall and behold they to overspread [obj] him whitewash

11 So tell those people whitewashing the wall that it's going to collapse. Rain will come pouring down. I will send hailstones crashing down on it. A windstorm will blow hard against it.

to say to(wards) to overspread whitewash and to fall: fall to be rain to overflow and you(f. p.) stone hail to fall: fall and spirit: breath tempest to break up/open

12 Don't you think that when the wall collapses people are going to ask you, ‘What happened to the whitewash you painted it with?’

and behold to fall: fall [the] wall not to say to(wards) you where? [the] coating which to overspread

13 So this is what the Lord God says: In my furious anger I'm going to send a windstorm, pouring rain, and hailstones to destroy the wall.

to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God and to break up/open spirit: breath tempest in/on/with rage my and rain to overflow in/on/with face: anger my to be and stone hail in/on/with rage to/for consumption

14 I will demolish the wall you whitewashed, knocking it to the ground to reveal its foundations. The city is going to fall, and you're going to be destroyed with it. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

and to overthrow [obj] [the] wall which to overspread whitewash and to touch him to(wards) [the] land: soil and to reveal: uncover foundation his and to fall: fall and to end: destroy in/on/with midst her and to know for I LORD

15 Once the wall and those who whitewashed it have experienced my anger, I will tell you: The wall is no more, and those who whitewashed it are no more,

and to end: expend [obj] rage my in/on/with wall and in/on/with to overspread [obj] him whitewash and to say to/for you nothing [the] wall and nothing [the] to overspread [obj] him

16 those ‘prophets’ of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and claimed to have seen a vision of peace for her when there wasn't going to be any peace, declares the Lord God.

prophet Israel [the] to prophesy to(wards) Jerusalem and [the] to see to/for her vision peace and nothing peace utterance Lord YHWH/God

17 Now, son of man, you are to oppose those Israelite women who make up prophecies in their own minds. Prophesy against them

and you(m. s.) son: child man to set: make face your to(wards) daughter people your [the] to prophesy from heart their and to prophesy upon them

18 and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the women who sew bracelets of magic charms for their wrists and make veils for all kinds of people to wear as ways to trap and exploit them. Do you think you can trap the lives of my people yet still keep your own?

and to say thus to say Lord YHWH/God woe! to/for to sew amulet upon all joint hand: themselves my and to make [the] veil upon head all height to/for to hunt soul soul to hunt to/for people my and soul to/for you to live

19 You have disgraced me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people who believe in you, you have killed those who shouldn't have died and let others live who shouldn't.

and to profane/begin: profane [obj] me to(wards) people my in/on/with handful barley and in/on/with morsel food: bread to/for to die soul which not to die and to/for to live soul which not to live in/on/with to lie you to/for people my to hear: hear lie

20 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out! I condemn the magic charms you use to trap people like birds, and I will rip them off your arms. I will set free those you have trapped.

to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I to(wards) amulet your which you(f. p.) to hunt there [obj] [the] soul to/for to fly and to tear [obj] them from upon arm your and to send: let go [obj] [the] soul which you(m. p.) to hunt [obj] soul to/for to fly

21 I will also rip off your veils and rescue my people from your power, so that they will no longer be your victims. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

and to tear [obj] veil your and to rescue [obj] people my from hand: power your and not to be still in/on/with hand: power your to/for net and to know for I LORD

22 Because you have discouraged good people with your lies, even though I didn't have anything against them, and because you have encouraged the wicked that they shouldn't give up from their evil ways to save their lives,

because be disheartened heart righteous deception and I not to pain him and to/for to strengthen: strengthen hand: themselves wicked to/for lest to return: repent from way: conduct his [the] bad: evil to/for to live him

23 from now on you won't claim these false visions or practice magic. I will rescue my people from your power. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
