Ezekiel 13:11-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. say then to the whitewashers: I will bring down a flooding rain; hailstones shall fall, and a stormwind shall break forth.

12. When the wall has fallen, will you not be asked: “Where is the whitewash you spread on it?”

13. Therefore thus says the Lord God: In my fury I will let loose stormwinds; because of my anger there will be flooding rain, and hailstones will fall with destructive wrath.

14. I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, laying bare its foundations. When it falls, you shall be crushed beneath it. Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.

15. When I have poured out my fury on the wall and its whitewashers, it will fall. Then I will say to you: No wall! No whitewashers—

16. the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem and see visions of peace for it when there is no peace—oracle of the Lord God.
