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];

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

daubed it;

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

17 "You, human being, turn your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own thoughts. Prophesy against them;
