Ezekiel 13:1 In-Context

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.
