Ezekiel 13:4
Thy prophets - Thy prophets, not mine. Like the foxes - Hungry, and ravening, crafty, and guileful. In the deserts - Where want makes them more eager after their prey.
2 “Son of man, prophesy aagainst the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to bthose who prophesy out of their own cheart, ‘Hear the word of the Lord!’ ”
3 Thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen1 nothing!
4 O Israel, your prophets are alike foxes in the deserts.
5 You ahave not gone up into the gaps to build a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle on the day of the Lord.
6 aThey have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord!’ But the Lord has bnot sent them; yet they hope that the word may1 be confirmed.
7 Have you not seen a futile vision, and have you not spoken false divination? You say, ‘The Lord says,’ but I have not spoken.”
