5 You have not repaired the cracks in the city wall for the people of Israel. So it will not stand firm in the battle on the day I judge you.
6 The visions of those prophets are false. They use magic to try to find out what is going to happen. But their magic tricks are lies. They say, 'The Lord announces.' But I have not sent them. In spite of that, they expect their words to come true.
7 " ' "You prophets have seen false visions. You have used magic to try to find out what is going to happen. But your magic tricks are lies. So you lied when you said, 'The Lord announces.' I did not even speak to you at all."
8 " 'The Lord and King says, "I am against you prophets. Your messages are false. Your visions do not come true," announces the Lord and King.
9 " ' "Israel, my powerful hand will be against the prophets who see false visions. Their magic tricks are lies. They will not be among the leaders of my people. They will not be listed in the records of Israel. In fact, they will not even enter the land. Then you will know that I am the Lord and King.
10 " ' "They lead my people away from me. They say, 'Peace.' But there isn't any peace. They are like people who build a weak wall. They try to cover up the weakness by painting the wall white.
11 Tell those who do it that their wall is going to fall. Heavy rains will come. I will send hailstones crashing down. Powerful winds will blow.
