NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Ezekiel 13

False Prophets Condemned

1

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

2

"Sonh1121 of manh120, prophesyh5012 againsth413 the  aprophetsh5030 of Israelh3478 who prophesyh5012, and sayh559 to those who prophesyh5030 from their own  1inspirationh3820, ` bListenh8085 to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068!

3

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, "Woeh1945 to the  afoolishh5036 prophetsh5030 whoh834 are followingh1980h310 their own spirith7307 and have  bseenh7200 nothingh1115.

4

"O Israelh3478, your prophetsh5030 have beenh1961 like foxesh7776 among ruinsh2723.

5

"You have not  agoneh5927 up into the  bbreachesh6556, norh3808 did you buildh1443 the wallh1443 aroundh5921 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 to standh5975 in the battleh4421 on the  cdayh3117 of the LORDh3068.

6

"They seeh2372  1 afalsehoodh7723 and lyingh3577 divinationh7081 who are sayingh559, `The LORDh3068 declaresh5002,' when the LORDh3068 has not senth7971 them;  byet they hopeh3176 for the fulfillmenth6965 of their wordh1697.

7

aDid you not seeh7200 a falseh7723 visionh4236 and speakh559 a lyingh3577 divinationh4738 when you saidh559, `The LORDh3068 declaresh5002,' but it is not I who have spokenh1696?""'

8

Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Becauseh3282 you have spokenh1696  1falsehoodh7723 and seenh2372 a lieh3577, thereforeh3651 beholdh2009,  aI am againsth413 you," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

9

"So My handh3027 will be againsth413 the  aprophetsh5030 who seeh7200 falseh7723 visionsh7723 and utterh7080 lyingh3577 divinationsh7080. They will  1haveh1961 noh3808 placeh1961 in the councilh5475 of My peopleh5971a,  bnorh3808 will they be writtenh3789 downh3789 in the registerh3791 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478, norh3808 will they enterh935 the landh127 of Israelh3478,  2that you may knowh3045 that I am the Lordh136 GODh3068.

10

"It is definitelyh3282 becauseh3282 they have  amisledh2937 My peopleh5971a by sayingh559, ` bPeaceh7965!' when thereh369 is  cnoh369 peaceh7965. And when anyoneh1931 buildsh1129 a wallh2434, beholdh2009, they plasterh2902 it overh2902 with whitewashh8602b;

11

so tellh559 those who plasterh2902 it overh2902 with whitewashh8602b, that it will fallh5307. A  afloodingh7857 rainh1653 will comeh1961, and you, O hailstonesh1259h68, will fallh5307; and a violenth5591b windh7307 will breakh1234 out.

12

"Beholdh2009, when the wallh7023 has fallenh5307, will you not be askedh559, `Whereh346 is the plasterh2915 with whichh834 you plasteredh2902 it?"'

13

Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "I will make a violenth5591b windh7307 breakh1234 out in My wrathh2534. There will also be in My angerh639 a floodingh7857 rainh1653 and  ahailstonesh417h68 to consumeh3615 it in wrathh2534.

14

"So I will tearh2040 downh2040 the wallh7023 whichh834 you plasteredh2902 overh2902 with whitewashh8602b and bringh5060 it downh5060 to the groundh776, so that its  afoundationh3247 is laidh1540 bareh1540; and when it fallsh5307, you will be  bconsumedh3615 in its midsth8432. And you will  cknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068.

15

"Thus I will spendh3615 My wrathh2534 on the wallh7023 and on those who have plasteredh2902 it overh2902 with whitewashh8602b; and I will sayh559 to you, `The wallh7023  1is goneh369 and its plasterersh2902 are goneh369,

16

along with the prophetsh5030 of Israelh3478 who prophesyh5012 to Jerusalemh3389, and who  aseeh7200 visionsh2377 of peaceh7965 for her when thereh369 is  bnoh369 peaceh7965,' declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

17

"Now you, sonh1121 of manh120, seth7760 your faceh6440 againsth413 the daughtersh1323 of your peopleh5971a who are  aprophesyingh5012  bfrom their own  1inspirationh3820. Prophesyh5012 againsth5921 them

18

and sayh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Woeh1945 to the women who sewh8609 magic bandsh3704 on  1allh3605 wristsh3027h679 and makeh6213a veilsh4555 for the headsh7218 of persons of everyh3605 statureh6967 to  ahunth6679 downh6679  2livesh5315! Will you hunth6679 downh6679 the  2livesh5315 of My peopleh5971a, but preserveh2421a the  2livesh5315 of others for yourselves?

19

aFor handfulsh8168 of barleyh8184 and fragmentsh6604b of breadh3899, you have profanedh2490c Me to My peopleh5971a to puth4191 to deathh4191  1someh5315 whoh834 should not dieh4191 and to  bkeeph2421a  1othersh5315 aliveh2421a whoh834 should not liveh2421a, by your lyingh3576 to My peopleh5971a who listenh8085 to liesh3577.""'

20

Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Beholdh2009, I am againsth413 your magic bandsh3704 by whichh834 you hunth6679  1livesh5315 thereh8033 as  2birdsh6524c and I will tearh7167 them from your armsh2220; and I will leth7971  1them goh7971, evenh853 those  1livesh5315 whomh834 you hunth6679 as  2birdsh6524c.

21

"I will also tearh7167 off your veilsh4555 and  adeliverh5337 My peopleh5971a from your handsh3027, and they will noh3808 longerh5750 be in your handsh3027 to be huntedh4686a; and you will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068.

22

"Becauseh3282 you  adisheartenedh3512a the righteoush6662 with falsehoodh8267 when I did not causeh3510 him griefh3510, but have  1 bencouragedh2388h3027 the wickedh7563 not to  cturnh7725 from his wickedh7451a wayh1870 and preserveh2421a his lifeh2421a,

23

thereforeh3651, you women will noh3808 longerh5750 seeh7200  1 afalseh7723 visionsh7723 or practiceh7080 divinationh7081, and I will  bdeliverh5337 My peopleh5971a out of your handh3027. Thus you will  cknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068."
