Ezekiel 13 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah:

3Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit,

⁎

Or, and things which they have not seen

and have seen nothing!

4O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

5Ye have not gone up into the

⁎

Or, breaches

gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah.

6They have seen falsehood and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith; but Jehovah hath not sent them: and they

Or, have hoped

have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

7Have ye not seen a false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, in that ye say, Jehovah saith; albeit I have not spoken?

8Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

9And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false visions, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the

⁎

Or, secret

council of my people, neither shall they be written in the

⁎

Or, register

writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

10Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up

Or, a slight wall

a wall, behold, they daub it with

⁎

Or, whitewash. So in verses 11, 14, 15

untempered mortar:

11say unto them that daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

12Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

13Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

14So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

15Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

16to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.

17And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

18and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the women that sew pillows upon all

elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls!

⁎

Or, Ye hunt . . . and ye save etc.

Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive

⁎

Or, that are yours

for yourselves?

19And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hearken unto lies.

20Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows,

Or, where ye hunt

wherewith ye there hunt the souls

Or, as birds

to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt

Or, as birds

to make them fly.

21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

22Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way,

⁎

Or, by promising him life

and be saved alive;

23therefore ye shall no more see false visions, nor divine divinations: and I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
