< Ezekiel 13 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 O son of humankind prophesy against [the] prophets of Israel who are prophesying and you will say to [the] prophets from own heart their hear [the] word of Yahweh.
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, and thou shalt prophesy, and shalt say to them, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
3 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! on the prophets the fools who [are] walking after own spirit their and to not they have seen.
Thus saith the Lord, Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all.
4 Like foxes among ruins prophets your O Israel they have been.
Thy prophets, O Israel, are like foxes in the deserts.
5 Not you have gone up in the breaches and you have walled up a wall on [the] house of Israel to stand in the battle on [the] day Yahweh.
They have not continued steadfast, and they have gathered flocks against the house of Israel, they that say,
6 They have seen worthlessness and divination of falsehood those [who] say [the] utterance of Yahweh and Yahweh not he has sent them and they have waited to fulfill a word.
In the day of the Lord, have not 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.
7 ¿ Not a vision of worthlessness have you seen and divination of falsehood have you said? and [you were] saying [the] utterance of Yahweh and I not I have spoken.
Have ye not seen a false vision? and spoken vain prophecies?
8 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because have spoken you worthlessness and you have seen falsehood therefore here I [am] against you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
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.
9 And it will be hand my against the prophets who see worthlessness and who divine falsehood in [the] council of people my not they will be and in [the] register of [the] house of Israel not they will be written down and into [the] land of Israel not they will go and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
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 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.
10 Because and by cause they have led astray people my saying peace and there not [is] peace and he [is] building a wall and there they [are] plastering it whitewash.
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.
11 Say to [the] plasterers of whitewash so it may fall it will come - rain overflowing and you O stones of hail you will fall and a wind of tempests it will break through [the wall].
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.
12 And there! it has fallen the wall ¿ not will it be said to you where? [is] the plaster which you plastered.
And lo! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Where is your plaster wherewith ye plastered [it]?
13 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will make break out a wind of tempests in rage my and rain overflowing in anger my it will come and stones of hail in rage for complete destruction.
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.
14 And I will tear down the wall which you plastered whitewash and I will make touch it the ground and it will be uncovered foundation[s] its and it will fall and you will come to an end in [the] midst of it and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
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.
15 And I will complete rage my on the wall and on [those who] plastered it whitewash so I may say to you there not [is] the wall and there [are] not those [who] plastered it.
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,
16 [the] prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and who saw for it a vision of peace and there not [was] peace [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
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.
17 And you O son of humankind set face your against [the] daughters of people your who prophesy from own heart their and prophesy on them.
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.
18 And you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe! to [women who] sew bands on - all [the] joints of hands my and [women who] make the long veils on [the] head of every stature to hunt persons ¿ persons will you hunt of people my and persons of yourself will you preserve alive?
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.
19 And you have profaned me to people my for handfuls of barley and for fragments of bread by putting to death persons who not they will die and by preserving alive persons who not they will live when speak falsehood you to people my [who] listen to falsehood.
And they have 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.
20 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against bands your which you [are] hunting there the persons for birds and I will tear away them from on arms your and I will set free the persons whom you [are] hunting persons for birds.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against your pillows, 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.
21 And I will tear away long veils your and I will deliver people my from hand your and not they will become again in hand your prey and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
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.
22 Because disheartened [the] heart of [the] righteous falsehood and I not I caused pain him and to strengthen [the] hands of [the] wicked to not to turn back from way his evil to preserve alive him.
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:
23 Therefore worthlessness not you will see and divination not you will divine again and I will deliver people my from hand your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
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.
