Ezekiel 13:10-12

False Prophets Condemned

10 Precisely because they have misled my people, k saying, 'Peace,' when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, l these prophets smear it with whitewash, 1 11 say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! m There will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, 'Where is the coating with which you smeared it?'
