are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I
am
the
L
ORD
.
21
And the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
22
Son of man, what
is
that proverb
that
ye
have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23
Tell them
therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use
it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25
For I
am
the L
ORD
: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no
more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith
the Lord GOD.
26
Again the word of the L
ORD
came to me, saying,
27
Son of man, behold,
they of
the house of
Israel say, The vision that he seeth
is
for many days
to come,
and he prophesieth of the times
that
are
far off.
28
Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words
be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
CHAPTER 13
And the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of
Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the
word of the L
ORD
;
3
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own
spirit, and have seen nothing!
4
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5
Ye have
not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle
in the day of the L
ORD
.
6
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The L
ORD
saith: and
the L
ORD
hath not sent them: and they have made
others
to hope that they would confirm the word.
7
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The
L
ORD
saith
it;
albeit I have not spoken?
8
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have
spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I
am
against you, saith the Lord GOD.
9
And mine
hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly
of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they
enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I
am
the Lord GOD.
10
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and
there was
no peace;
and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered
morter:
11
Say unto them which
daub it with untempered
morter,
that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O
great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend
it.
12
Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it
not be said unto you, Where
is
the daubing wherewith ye have daubed
it?
13
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD; I will even rend
it
with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing
shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in
my
fury to consume
it.
14
So will I break down the
wall that ye have daubed with untempered
morter,
and bring it down to the ground, so that the
