Prophesy / Thought of the day 27 February 2013

And the word of the LORD came to me,saying,

2 ''Son  of man,prophesy against the prophets of the Israel who prophesy,and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart,'Hear the word of the LORD!`"

3 Thus says the LORD GOD:''Woe to foolish prophets,who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!

4 ''O Israel,your prophets are like foxes in the deserts.

5 '' You have not gone up into the gaps to build a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle on the day of the LORD.

6 ''They have envisioned futility and false divination,saying,'Thus says the LORD!` But the LORD has not sent them;yet they hope that the word may be cofirmed.

7 ''Have you not seen the futile vision,and have you not spoken false divination?You say,'The LORD says,`but I have not spoken."

8 Therefore thus says the LORD GOD:''Because you have spoken  nonsense and envisional lies,therefore I am indeed against you,"says the LORD GOD.

9 ''My hand will be aganst the prophets who envision futility and who divine lies;they shall not be in assembly of My people,nor be written in the record of the house of Israel,nor shall they enter into the land of Israel.Then you shall know that I am the LORD GOD.

10 ''Because,indeed,because they have seduced My people,saying,'Peace!`when there is no peace-and one build a wall,and they plaster it with untempered mortar-

11 '' Sy to those who plaster it with with untempered mortar,that it will fall.There will be flooding rain,and you ,Ogreat hailstones,shall fall;anda stromy wind shall tear it down.

12 '' Surely,when the wall has fallen,will it not to be said to you,'Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?`"

13 Therfore thus says the LORD GOD:''I will cause a stromy wind to break forth in My fury;and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger,and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

14 ''So I will break down the wall you have plastered with ntempered mortar,and bring it down to the ground,so that its foundation will be uncovered;it will fall,and you shall be cosumed in the midst of it.Then you shall know that I am the LORD.

15 ''Thus will I accomplish My wrath on the wall and those who have plastered it with untempered mortar;and I will say to you,'The wall is no more,nor those who plastered it,

16 'That is,the prophets of I srael who prophesy concerning Jerusalem,and who see vision of peace foe when there is no peace,` "says the LORD GOD. Ezekiel 13:1-16
