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 "`Because, even because they have seduced My people, saying, "Peace," and there was no peace, and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar,

11 say unto those who daub it with untempered mortar that it shall fall. There shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall rend it.

12 Lo, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said unto you, "Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?"

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger and great hailstones in My fury to consume it.

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered, and it shall fall and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
