1وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ،2يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ وَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِمِ، اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ.3هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، وَيْلٌ لِلأَنْبِيَاءِ الْحَمْقَى الذَّاهِبِينَ وَرَاءَ رُوحِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً.4أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَارُوا كَالثَّعَالِبِ فِي الْخِرَبِ.5لَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى الثُّغَرِ، وَلَمْ تَبْنُوا جِدَاراً لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْوُقُوفِ فِي الْحَرْبِ فِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ.6رَأَوْا بَاطِلاً وَعِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً. الْقَائِلُونَ، وَحْيُ الرَّبِّ وَالرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَانْتَظَرُوا إِثْبَاتَ الْكَلِمَةِ.7أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، قَائِلِينَ، وَحْيُ الرَّبِّ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ.8لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَذِباً، فَلِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.9وَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ الْبَاطِلَ وَالَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ. فِي مَجْلِسِ شَعْبِي لاَ يَكُونُونَ، وَفِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ يُكْتَبُونَ، وَإِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ يَدْخُلُونَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.10مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ، سَلاَمٌ وَلَيْسَ سَلاَمٌ، وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَبْنِي حَائِطاً وَهَا هُمْ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِالطُّفَالِ.11فَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِالطُّفَالِ إِنَّهُ يَسْقُطُ. يَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ، وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ الْبَرَدِ تَسْقُطْنَ، وَرِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ تُشَقِّقُهُ.12وَهُوَذَا إِذَا سَقَطَ الْحَائِطُ، أَفَلاَ يُقَالُ لَكُمْ، أَيْنَ الطِّينُ الَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ.13لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنِّي أُشَقِّقُهُ بِرِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ فِي غَضَبِي، وَيَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ فِي سَخَطِي وَحِجَارَةُ بَرَدٍ فِي غَيْظِي لإِفْنَائِهِ.14فَأَهْدِمُ الْحَائِطَ الَّذِي مَلَّطْتُمُوهُ بِالطُّفَالِ، وَأُلْصِقُهُ بِالأَرْضِ، وَيَنْكَشِفُ أَسَاسُهُ فَيَسْقُطُ، وَتَفْنُونَ أَنْتُمْ فِي وَسَطِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.15فَأُتِمُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى الْحَائِطِ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ بِالطُّفَالِ، وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَيْسَ الْحَائِطُ بِمَوْجُودٍ وَلاَ الَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ.16أَيْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لأُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلاَمٍ، وَلاَ سَلاَمَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.17وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَاجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ ضِدَّ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ اللَّوَاتِي يَتَنَبَّأْنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِنَّ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،18وَقُلْ، هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، وَيْلٌ لِلَّوَاتِي يَخُطْنَ وَسَائِدَ لِكُلِّ أَوْصَالِ الأَيْدِي، وَيَصْنَعْنَ مِخَدَّاتٍ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لاِصْطِيَادِ النُّفُوسِ. أَفَتَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ أَنْفُسَكُنَّ،19وَتُنَجِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لأَجْلِ حُفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ وَلأَجْلِ فُتَاتٍ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ، لإِمَاتَةِ نُفُوسٍ لاَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَاسْتِحْيَاءِ نُفُوسٍ لاَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَحْيَا، بِكَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي السَّامِعِينَ لِلْكَذِبِ.20لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، هَا أَنَا ضِدُّ وَسَائِدِكُنَّ الَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِهَا النُّفُوسَ كَالْفِرَاخِ، وَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ وَأُطْلِقُ النُّفُوسَ الَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَهَا كَالْفِرَاخِ.21وَأُمَزِّقُ مِخَدَّاتِكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلاَ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ فِي أَيْدِيكُنَّ لِلصَّيْدِ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.22لأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ الصِّدِّيقِ كَذِباً وَأَنَا لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ أَيْدِي الشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لاَ يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الرَّدِيئَةِ فَيَحْيَا23فَلِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلاَ تَعْرِفْنَ عِرَافَةً بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,2Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;3Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!4O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.5Ye 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.6They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.7Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it ; albeit I have not spoken?8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.9And mine hand shall be upon 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 writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.10Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter :11Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter , that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it .12Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it ?13Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it .14So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter , and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.15Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter , and will say unto you, The wall is no more , neither they that daubed it;16To wit , the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.17Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,18And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?19And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?20Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.22Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:23Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
