Potmos Hetoimos - Illusions of Peace

Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy
And say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts
Hear ye the word of the LORD

Thus saith the Lord GOD
Woe unto the foolish prophets
That follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts

Ye have not gone up into the gaps
Neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand
In the battle in the day of the LORD

They have seen vanity and lying divination
Saying, the LORD saith
And the LORD hath not sent them
And they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word

Have ye not seen a vain vision
And have ye not spoken a lying divination
Whereas ye say, The LORD saith it
Albeit I have not spoken?

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD
Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies
Therefore, behold, I am against you
Saith the Lord GOD

And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies
They shall not be in the assembly of my people
Neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel
Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel
And ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD

Because, even because they have seduced my people
Saying, Peace; and there was no peace
And one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter
Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall
There shall be an overflowing shower
And ye, O great hailstones, shall fall
And a stormy wind shall rend it

Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you
Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD
I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury
And there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger
And great hailstones in my fury to consume it

So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter
And bring it down to the ground
So that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall
And ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof
And ye shall know that I am the LORD

(Ezekiel 13:1-14)
