1. And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2. “Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you must say to those who are prophets out of their own imagination, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh!’
3. Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Alas, for the foolish prophets who are going after their own spirit, and they did not see anything!
4. Your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.
5. You did not go up into the breaches and repair a wall for the house of Israel to stand firm in the battle on the day of Yahweh.
6. They saw falseness and a lying divination, the ones saying, ‘Declaration of Yahweh!’ and Yahweh did not send them, and they wait for the confirmation of their word.
