Ezekiel 13

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

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 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

“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD!

3 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

This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing.

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

Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins.

5 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

You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.

6 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

They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.

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

Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?

8 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

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.

9 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

My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.

10 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

Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built,

11 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

tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth.

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

Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’

13 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

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.

14 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

I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

15 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

And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it—

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

those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’

17 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

Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them

18 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

and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?

19 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

You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.

20 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

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.

21 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

I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

22 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

Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,

23 to/for so vanity: false not to see and divination not to divine still and to rescue [obj] people my from hand: power your and to know for I LORD

therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
