Ezekiel 13:16

13:16 those prophets of Israel who would prophesy about Jerusalem ¹  and would see visions of peace for it, when there was no peace,” declares the sovereign Lord.’

Ezekiel 22:28

22:28 Her prophets coat their messages with whitewash. ²  They see false visions and announce lying omens for them, saying, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

Ezekiel 13:9

13:9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council ³  of my people, nor be written in the registry ⁴  of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the sovereign Lord.

[22:28]  ² tn Heb “her prophets coat for themselves with whitewash.” The expression may be based on Ezek 13:10-15.

[13:9]  ³ tn The Hebrew term may refer to the secret council of the Lord (Jer 23:18; Job 15:8), but here it more likely refers to a human council comprised of civic leaders (Gen 49:6; Jer 6:11; 15:17 Ps 64:3; 111:1).

[13:9]  ⁴ tn The reference here is probably to a civil list (as in Ezra 2:16; Neh 7:64) rather than to a “book of life” (Exod 32:32; Isa 4:3; Ps 69:29; Dan 12:1). This registry may have been established at the making of David’s census (2 Sam 24:2, 9).
