1 The Lord’s word came to me:
2 Human one, prophesy to Israel’s prophets who prophesy from their own imaginations. Say, Hear the Lord’s word!
3 The Lord God proclaims: Doom to the foolish prophets who follow their own whims but see nothing.
4 Israel, your prophets have been like jackals among ruins.
5 You haven’t gone up into the breach or reinforced the wall of the house of Israel, so that it might withstand the battle on the day of the Lord.
6 They saw worthless visions and performed deceptive divinations. Even though the Lord didn’t send them, they said, "This is what the Lord says" and expected their word to stand.
