| [1]And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[1]And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, |
| [2]SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012[H8734] against the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 that prophesyH5012[H8737], and sayH559[H8804] thou unto them that prophesyH5030 out of their own heartsH3820, HearH8085[H8798] ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; |
[2]`Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah: |
| [3]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH1945 unto the foolishH5036 prophetsH5030, that followH1980[H8802][H310] their own spiritH7307, and have seenH7200 nothingH8804! |
[3]Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing. |
| [4]O IsraelH3478, thy prophetsH5030 are like the foxesH7776 in the desertsH2723. |
[4]As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been. |
| [5]Ye have not gone upH5927[H8804] into the gapsH6556, neither made upH1443[H8799] the hedgeH1447 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to standH5975[H8800] in the battleH4421 in the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068. |
[5]Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah. |
| [6]They have seenH2372[H8804] vanityH7723 and lyingH3577 divinationH7081, sayingH559[H8802], The LORDH3068 saithH5002[H8803]: and the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971[H8804] them: and they have made others to hopeH3176[H8765] that they would confirmH6965[H8763] the wordH1697. |
[6]They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word. |
| [7]Have ye not seenH2372[H8804] a vainH7723 visionH4236, and have ye not spokenH1696[H8765] a lyingH3577 divinationH4738, whereas ye sayH559[H8802], The LORDH3068 saithH5002[H8803] it; albeit I have not spokenH559?[H8804] |
[7]A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken? |
| [8]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have spokenH1696[H8763] vanityH7723, and seenH2372[H8804] liesH3577, therefore, behold, I am against you, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069. |
[8]Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. |
| [9]And mine handH3027 shall be upon the prophetsH5030 that seeH2374 vanityH7723, and that divineH7080[H8802] liesH3577: they shall not be in the assemblyH5475 of my peopleH5971, neither shall they be writtenH3789[H8735] in the writingH3791 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, neither shall they enterH935[H8799] into the landH127 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LordH136 GODH3069. |
[9]And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah. |
| [10]Because, even because they have seducedH2937[H8689] my peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], PeaceH7965; and there was no peaceH7965; and one built upH1129[H8802] a wallH2434, and, loH2009, others daubedH2902[H8802] it with untempered morterH8602: |
[10]Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk. |
| [11]SayH559[H8798] unto them which daubH2902[H8802] it with untemperedH8602 morter, that it shall fallH5307[H8799]: there shall be an overflowingH7857[H8802] showerH1653; and yeH859, O great hailstonesH417[H68], shall fallH5307[H8799]; and a stormyH5591 windH7307 shall rendH1234 itH8762. |
[11]Say to those daubing with chalk -- It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend, |
| [12]Lo, when the wallH7023 is fallenH5307[H8804], shall it not be saidH559[H8735] unto you, Where is the daubingH2915 wherewith ye have daubedH2902 itH8804? |
[12]And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed? |
| [13]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even rendH1234[H8765] it with a stormyH5591 windH7307 in my furyH2534; and there shall be an overflowingH7857[H8802] showerH1653 in mine angerH639, and great hailstonesH417[H68] in my furyH2534 to consume itH3617. |
[13]Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury -- to consume. |
| [14]So will I break downH2040[H8804] the wallH7023 that ye have daubedH2902[H8804] with untemperedH8602 morter, and bringH5060[H8689] it down to the groundH776, so that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discoveredH1540[H8738], and it shall fallH5307[H8804], and ye shall be consumedH3615[H8804] in the midstH8432 thereof: and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LORDH3068. |
[14]And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. |
| [15]Thus will I accomplishH3615[H8765] my wrathH2534 upon the wallH7023, and upon them that have daubedH2902[H8802] it with untemperedH8602 morter, and will sayH559[H8799] unto you, The wallH7023 is no more, neither they that daubedH2902 itH8802; |
[15]And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not; |
| [16]To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012[H8737] concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069. |
[16]The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. |
| [17]Likewise, thou sonH1121 of manH120, setH7760[H8798] thy faceH6440 against the daughtersH1323 of thy peopleH5971, which prophesyH5012[H8693] out of their own heartH3820; and prophesyH5012 thou against themH8734, |
[17]And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them, |
| [18]And sayH559[H8804], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH1945 to the women that sewH8609[H8764] pillowsH3704 to all armholesH679[H3027], and makeH6213[H8802] kerchiefsH4555 upon the headH7218 of every statureH6967 to huntH6679[H8780] soulsH5315! Will ye huntH6679[H8779] the soulsH5315 of my peopleH5971, and will ye saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that come unto youH8762? |
[18]And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature -- to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive? |
| [19]And will ye polluteH2490[H8762] me among my peopleH5971 for handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and for piecesH6595 of breadH3899, to slayH4191[H8687] the soulsH5315 that should not dieH4191[H8799], and to saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421[H8763] that should not liveH2421[H8799], by your lyingH3576[H8763] to my peopleH5971 that hearH8085[H8802] your liesH3577? |
[19]Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people -- hearkening to lies. |
| [20]Wherefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against your pillowsH3704, wherewith yeH859 there huntH6679[H8781] the soulsH5315 to make them flyH6524[H8802], and I will tearH7167[H8804] them from your armsH2220, and will let the soulsH5315 goH7971[H8765], even the soulsH5315 that ye huntH6679[H8781] to make them flyH6524.[H8802] |
[20]Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing. |
| [21]Your kerchiefsH4555 also will I tearH7167[H8804], and deliverH5337[H8689] my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027, and they shall be no more in your handH3027 to be huntedH4686; and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LORDH3068. |
[21]And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. |
| [22]Because with liesH8267 ye have made the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 sadH3512[H8687], whom I have not made sadH3510[H8689]; and strengthenedH2388[H8763] the handsH3027 of the wickedH7451, that he should not returnH7725[H8800] from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, by promising him lifeH2421:[H8687] |
[22]Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive, |
| [23]Therefore ye shall seeH2372[H8799] no more vanityH7723, nor divineH7080[H8799] divinationsH7081: for I will deliverH5337[H8689] my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027: and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LORDH3068. |
[23]Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!' |
