^{7 Ref} Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?

^{8 Ref} So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.

^{9 Ref} And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

^{10 Ref} Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:

^{11 Ref} Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.

^{12 Ref} And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?

^{13 Ref} For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.

^{14 Ref} So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

^{15 Ref} So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?

^{16 Ref} Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.
