3 Thus saith the Lord, Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all.
4 Thy prophets, O Israel, are like foxes in the deserts.
5 They have not continued steadfast, and they have gathered flocks against the house of Israel, they that say,
6 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 Have ye not seen a false vision? and spoken vain prophecies?
8 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 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 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 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 lo! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Where is your plaster wherewith ye plastered it?
13 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 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.
