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.
9 And my hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the book of the house of Israel, neither shall they return to the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
