2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy and say unto those that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
3 thus hath the Lord GOD said: Woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord has not sent them, and they have made others to wait for the word to be confirmed.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord hath said it; albeit I have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies; therefore, behold, I am against you, said the Lord GOD.
