1
The word of ADONAI came to me:
2
"Human being, prophesy against the prophets of Isra'el who prophesy. Tell those prophesying out of their own thoughts, 'Listen to what ADONAI says!
3
Adonai ELOHIM says: "Woe to the vile prophets who follow their own spirits and things which they have not seen!
4
Isra'el, your prophets have been like jackals among ruins.
5
You [prophets] have not gone up to the breaks in the barricade or repaired it for the house of Isra'el, so that they can stand fast in battle on the day of ADONAI.
6
Their visions are futile and their divination is false; they say, 'ADONAI says,' when ADONAI has not sent them; yet they hope that the word will be confirmed.
