Ezekiel 13:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 13:10

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.

10 “Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ^a‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they ^bplaster it with untempered mortar—

11 say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. ^aThere will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down.

12 Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?’ ”

13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

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.
