They say, ‘This is the declaration of the LORD,’ when the LORD has not sent them, and they hope to fulfill their words. 7 Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you say, ‘Thus says the LORD,’ but I have not spoken? 8 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD. 9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people, nor be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD. 10 Because they have misled my people by saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because when a flimsy wall is built, they plaster it over with whitewash, 11 say to those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be a flooding rain, hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break it. 12 When the wall falls, people will ask you, ‘Where is the whitewash you applied?’ 13 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: In my wrath, I will unleash a stormy wind. In my anger, there will be flooding rain, and hailstones in fury will bring about destruction. 14 I will break down the wall that you plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. It will collapse, and you will perish within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 15 So I will pour out my wrath on the wall and on those who plaster it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who plastered it,’ 16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and claimed visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.
