Twenty-three verses record the LORD’s charge against Israel’s false prophets, men who “have seen nothing” and yet claim, “The LORD says”.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Prophesy against the prophets of Israel Who prophesy out of their own heart Hear the LORD’s word
Woe to the foolish prophets Who follow their own spirit And have seen nothing Your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places You have not gone up into the gaps
You have not built up the wall For the house of Israel To stand in the battle in the LORD’s day You have seen falsehood and lying divination
You say the LORD says But the LORD has not sent you You have made men hope the word would be confirmed The Lord God says I am against you
My hand will be against the prophets Who see false visions Who utter lying divinations They will not be in the council of my people Neither will they be written in the writing
They have seduced my people saying Peace And there is no peace When one builds up a wall They plaster it with whitewash
Tell those who plaster it with whitewash It will fall There will be an overflowing shower Great hailstones will fall A stormy wind will tear it
I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath There will be an overflowing shower in my anger Great hailstones in wrath to consume it I will break down the wall
I will accomplish my wrath on the wall And on those who have plastered it The wall is no more nor those who plastered it The prophets of Israel who prophesy peace where there is no peace
