To cover or plaster.

Because, 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 mortar: Say unto them which DAUB it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

DAUB

dob:

"To daub" always has the meaning "to cover," "to smear with" in the Scriptures. Ezekiel compares the flatteries of the false prophets to a slight wall covered with whitewash (literally, "spittle"). See Ezekiel 13:10; 22:28. In Exodus 2:3 "daubed it with slime and with pitch" (Hebrew wattachmerah, denominative of chemar, "bitumen" or "asphalt"), "to daub" has the same meaning as in the Ezekiel passage.
