4. People of Israel, your prophets have been like wild dogs hunting to kill and eat among ruins.
5. Israel is like a house in ruins. But you have not gone up into the broken places. Your prophets have not repaired the wall. So how can Israel hold back the enemy in the battle on the Lord’s day of judging?
6. Your prophets see false visions. They prophesy lies. They say, “This is the message of the Lord.” The Lord has not sent them. But they still hope their words will come true.
7. You said, “This is the message of the Lord.” But that is a false vision. Your prophecies are lies because I have not spoken.
