vision.
12:24. For there shall be no more any vain visions, nor doubtful
divination in the midst of the children of Israel.
12:25. For I the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, it
shall come to pass, and shall not be prolonged any more: but in your
days, ye provoking house, I will speak the word, and will do it, saith
the Lord God.
12:26. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
12:27. Son of man, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The
visions that this man seeth, is for many days to come: and this man
prophesieth of times afar off.
12:28. Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: not one word of
mine shall be prolonged any more: the word that I shall speak shall be
accomplished, saith the Lord God.
Ezechiel Chapter 13
God declares against false prophets and prophetesses, that deceive the
people with lies.
13:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
13:2. Son of man, prophesy thou against the prophets of Israel that

confirm what they have said.
13:7. Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination: and
you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken.
13:8. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have spoken vain
things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I come against you, saith
the Lord God.

shall they enter into the land of Israel, and you shall know that I am
the Lord God.
13:10. Because they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is
