Ezekiel 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:15

Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall
Or upon the city, as the Targum; pour out all his indignation, and inflict just punishment upon the city of Jerusalem and its inhabitants: and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar];
the false prophets: so the Targum,

``and the false prophets that prophesy in it false prophecies:''

and will say unto you, the wall [is] no [more], neither they that
daubed it;
neither the city of Jerusalem, nor the prophets that prophesied of its safety; nor their false prophecies; nor the vain hopes of the people they fed them with: so the Targum,

``there is no city, nor false prophets.''

13 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath.

14 "So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. And you will know that I am the LORD .

15 "Thus I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it over with whitewash; and I will say to you, 'The wall is gone and its plasterers are gone,

16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,' declares the Lord GOD.

17 "Now you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who are prophesying from their own inspiration. Prophesy against them
