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.''

Ezekiel 13:15 In-Context

13 " 'So the LORD and King speaks. He says, "When I am burning with anger, I will send a powerful wind. Hailstones and heavy rains will come. They will fall with great force.
14 I will tear down the wall you prophets painted over. I will knock it down. The only thing left will be its foundation. When it falls, you will be destroyed along with it. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
15 " ' "So I will pour out all of my burning anger on the wall. I will also send it against you prophets who painted it. I will say to you, 'The wall is gone. You who painted it will be gone too.
16 You prophets of Israel prophesied to Jerusalem. You saw visions of peace for its people. But there wasn't any peace,' announces the LORD and King." '
17 "Son of man, turn your attention to the daughters of your people. What they prophesy comes out of their own minds. So prophesy against them.
