Ezekiel 13:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:23

Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations,
&c.] They should not be suffered any longer to impose upon the people; and they should be so sufficiently exposed, that the people would not give heed to their vain visions and lying divinations any more; and no gain coming to them hereby, they would not be disposed to make pretensions to them, as they had done: or the sense is, that they should perish in the siege and destruction of Jerusalem; and so they and their false prophecies would cease together: for I will deliver my people out of your hand, and ye shall know that I
[am] the Lord;
see ( Ezekiel 13:21 ) .

22 Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life.
23 Therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord." ' "
