1. And the word of יהוה came to me, saying,
2. “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Yisra’ĕl who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the word of יהוה!’ ”
3. Thus said the Master יהוה, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, without having had a vision!
4. “O Yisra’ĕl, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.
5. “You have not gone up into the breaches, nor do you build a wall for the house of Yisra’ĕl to stand in battle on the day of יהוה.
6. “Their visions are false and their divinations a lie, saying, ‘Thus declares יהוה,’ when יהוה has not sent them, yet they expected the word to be confirmed!
7. “Have you not seen a false vision, and have you not spoken a divination of lies? You say, ‘יהוה declares,’ when I have not spoken.”
