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.''
