Ezekiel 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:12

Lo, when the wall is fallen
Jerusalem is taken: shall it not be said unto you;
the false prophets, by the people who had been deceived by them: where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]?
what is become of all your promises of peace, and assurance of safety and prosperity; your smooth words and plausible arguments; your specious pretences, and flattering prophecies? thus would they be insulted by those they had deceived, as well as laughed at by such who disregarded their predictions, and believed the prophets of the Lord.

Ezekiel 13:12 In-Context

10 Without a doubt, they led my people astray, saying "Peace" when there was no peace, and "He is building a wall" when they were the ones who laid on the plaster.

11 Say to those who laid on the plaster that it will fall. When the flooding rains appear and I send hailstones, it will collapse, and the storm winds will break it apart.

12 The wall will certainly fall. Won't it be said about you, "Where is your plaster now?"

13 Therefore, the LORD God proclaims: In my fury I will make a storm wind break out, and in my anger there will be flooding rains and hailstones in consuming wrath.

14 I will tear down the wall on which you laid plaster. I will raze it to the ground and expose its foundation. When it falls, you will be destroyed with it, and you will know that I am the LORD.
