CLV(i)
3 Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing."
4 As foxes in the wastes, Your prophets, O Israel, have been."
5 You have not gone up into breaches, Nor do you make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Yahweh."
6 They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying:An affirmation of Yahweh, And Yahweh has not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word."
7 A vain vision have you not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When you say:An affirmation of Yahweh, And I have not spoken?
8 Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Because you have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh."
9 And My hand has been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And you have known that I [am] the Lord Yahweh."
10 Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk."
11 Say to those daubing with chalk--It falls, There has been an overflowing shower, And you, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind does rend,
12 And lo, fallen has the wall! Does not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that you daubed?
13 Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury--to consume."
14 And I have broken down the wall that you daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed has been its foundation, And it has fallen, And you have been consumed in its midst, And you have known that I [am] Yahweh."
15 And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you:The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;"
16 The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh."
