1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah.
3 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in desert places.
5 Ye have not gone up into the breaches, nor made up the fence for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith! and Jehovah hath not sent them; and they make {them} to hope that the word will be fulfilled.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and spoken a lying divination, when ye say, Jehovah saith; and I have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye speak vanity, and have seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9 And my hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I {am} the Lord Jehovah.
10 Because, yea because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace! and there is no peace; and one buildeth up a wall, and lo, they daub it with untempered {mortar} -
11 say unto them which daub it with untempered {mortar} that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing rain, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall burst forth.
12 And lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing with which ye have daubed {it}?
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will cause to burst forth a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing rain in mine anger, and hail-stones in fury for utter destruction.
14 And I will break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered {mortar}, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be destroyed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I {am} Jehovah.
15 And I will accomplish my fury upon the wall, and upon them that daub it with untempered {mortar}, and will say unto you, The wall is no {more}, neither they that daubed it,
16 the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see a vision of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.
17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
18 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the women that sew pillows for all wrists, and that make veils for the head {of persons} of every stature to catch souls! Will ye catch the souls of my people, and will ye save your own souls alive?
19 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for morsels of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that listen to lying?
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, that the souls which ye catch by their means may fly away; and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, the souls that ye catch, that they may fly away.
21 And I will tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I {am} Jehovah.
22 Because with falsehood ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, to save his life:
23 therefore ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations; and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I {am} Jehovah.
1 耶和华的话临到我说：
2 "人子啊！ 你要说预言攻击那些在以色列中说预言的先知， 对那些随着自己心意说预言的人说： ‘你们要听耶和华的话。’"
3 主耶和华这样说： "愚顽的先知有祸了， 他们只是随从自己的灵说预言， 却没有看见过什么异象。
4 以色列啊！ 你的先知好像废墟中的狐狸。
5 他们没有上去堵塞破口， 也没有为以色列家重修墙垣， 使它在耶和华的日子， 在战争中可以站立得住。
6 他们所见的是虚假的异象， 是骗人的占卜； 他们说： ‘这是耶和华的宣告。’其实耶和华并没有差遣他们， 他们却希望自己的话能够应验。
7 你们不是见了虚假的异象， 不是说了骗人的占卜吗？你们还说： ‘这是耶和华的宣告。’其实我并没有说过。"
8 因此， 主耶和华这样说： "因为你们所说的是虚假， 所见的是欺诈， 因此我就攻击你们。这是主耶和华的宣告。
9 我的手必攻击那些看见虚假异象、以占卜骗人的先知， 他们必不得列在我子民的会中， 不得被记录在以色列家的名册上， 也不得进入以色列地； 你们就知道我是主耶和华。
10 因为他们迷惑了我的子民， 说： ‘平安了。’其实没有平安。有人筑起薄墙的时候， 他们就用灰泥粉刷那墙。
11 所以你要对那些用灰泥粉刷那墙的人说： ‘那墙要倒塌， 必有暴雨漫过。大冰雹啊！ 你们要降下， 狂风也必暴刮。’
12 那墙倒塌以后， 人岂不会问你们： ‘你们所粉刷的在哪里呢？’"
13 因此， 主耶和华这样说： "我要在我的烈怒中使狂风暴刮； 在我的忿怒中有暴雨漫过； 在烈怒中有大冰雹降下毁灭这墙。
14 我要拆毁你们用灰泥粉刷的墙。使它倾倒在地， 以致根基露出来； 墙必倒塌， 你们必在其中灭亡； 你们就知道我是耶和华。
15 我必这样向墙， 和向那些用灰泥粉刷这墙的人发尽我的烈怒。我要对他们说： ‘墙没有了！ 粉刷那墙的人也没有了！ ’
16 粉刷那墙的人， 就是以色列的众先知； 他们指着耶路撒冷说预言， 在没有平安的时候， 为这城见平安的异象。这是主耶和华的宣告。
17 "人子啊！ 你要面向民中那些随着自己心意说预言的女子， 说预言攻击她们。你要说：
18 ‘主耶和华这样说： 这些女子有祸了， 她们替众人的手腕缝制符咒的带子， 又替众人制造不同长度的头巾， 为要猎取人的性命。难道你们猎取我子民的性命， 就能保全自己的性命吗？
19 你们为了几把大麦， 为了几块饼， 就在我的子民中间亵渎我； 你们向我那些愿听谎言的子民说谎， 不该死的人， 你们杀死了； 不该活的人， 你们却保全他们的性命。
20 "‘因此， 主耶和华这样说： 我要与你们符咒的带子作对。你们用它们来猎取人的性命， 好像猎取飞鸟一样。我必把它们从你们的膀臂上扯下来， 释放那些被你们像飞鸟一样猎取的性命。
21 我必扯下你们的头巾， 救我的子民脱离你们的手， 使他们不再被你们的手猎取； 你们就知道我是耶和华。
22 我没有使义人灰心， 你们却用谎言使他们灰心， 又坚固恶人的手， 使他们不转离恶道而得拯救。
23 因此， 你们不得再见虚假的异象， 也不得再行占卜的事； 我要救我的子民脱离你们的手。你们就知道我是耶和华。’"
