Ezekiel 13:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 13:7

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.”

8 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you,” says the Lord God.

9 “My hand will be ^aagainst the prophets who envision futility and who ^bdivine lies; they shall not be in the assembly of My people, ^cnor be written in the record of the house of Israel, ^dnor shall they enter into the land of Israel. ^eThen you shall know that I am the Lord God.
