Ezekiel 13:16 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 13:16

14 So I will break down the wall you have plastered with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. ^aThen you shall know that I am the Lord.

15 “Thus will I accomplish My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it with untempered mortar; and I will say to you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it,

16 that is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who ^asee visions of peace for her when there is no peace,’ ” says the Lord God.

17 “Likewise, son of man, ^aset your face against the daughters of your people, ^bwho prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them,

18 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the women who sew magic charms¹ on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you ^ahunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive?

19 And will you profane Me among My people ^afor handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?”
