1. The Lord’s word came to me:
2. Human one, prophesy to Israel’s prophets who prophesy from their own imaginations. Say, Hear the Lord’s word!
3. The Lord God proclaims: Doom to the foolish prophets who follow their own whims but see nothing.
4. Israel, your prophets have been like jackals among ruins.
5. You haven’t gone up into the breach or reinforced the wall of the house of Israel, so that it might withstand the battle on the day of the Lord.
6. They saw worthless visions and performed deceptive divinations. Even though the Lord didn’t send them, they said, "This is what the Lord says" and expected their word to stand.
