Ezekiel 13:1 In-Context

1 The word of the Lord came to me:

2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are prophesying. Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the Lord!

3 This is what the Lord God says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing.

4 Your prophets, Israel, are like jackals among ruins.

5 You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it might stand in battle on the day of the Lord.
