Chapter 13

1The word of Hashem came to me:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

אוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2O mortal, prophesy against the Neviim of Yisrael who prophesy; say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of Hashem!

ben-a-DAM hi-NA-ve el-ne-vi-EY yis-ra-AYL ha-ni-BA-im v'-a-mar-TA li-ne-vi-EY mi-li-BAM shim-U d'-var-a-do-NAI

3Thus said Hashem: Woe to the degenerate Neviim, who follow their own fancy, without having had a vision!

KO a-MAR a-do-NAI y'-ho-VEE ho-Y al ha-ne-vee-EEM ha-ne-va-LEEM a-SHER ho-le-KHEEM a-KHAR ru-KHAM u-l'-vil-TEE ra-U

4Your Neviim, O Yisrael, have been like jackals among ruins.

k'-shu-a-LEEM ba-kha-ra-VOT n'-vee-E-kha yis-ra-AYL ha-YU

דכְּשֻׁעָלִ֖ים בׇּחֳרָב֑וֹת נְבִיאֶ֥יךָ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הָיֽוּ׃

5You did not enter the breaches and repair the walls for the House of Yisrael, that they might stand up in battle in the day of Hashem.

6They prophesied falsehood and lying divination; they said, “Declares Hashem,” when Hashem did not send them, and then they waited for their word to be fulfilled.

7It was false visions you prophesied and lying divination you uttered, saying, “Declares Hashem,” when I had not spoken.

8Assuredly, thus said Hashem: Because you speak falsehood and prophesy lies, assuredly, I will deal with you—declares Hashem.

9My hand will be against the Neviim who prophesy falsehood and utter lying divination. They shall not remain in the assembly of My people, they shall not be inscribed in the lists of the House of Yisrael, and they shall not come back to the land of Yisrael. Thus shall you know that I am Hashem.

10Inasmuch as they have misled My people, saying, “It is well,” when nothing is well, daubing with plaster the flimsy wall which the people were building,

11say to those daubers of plaster: It shall collapse; a driving rain shall descend—and you, O great hailstones, shall fall—and a hurricane wind shall rend it.

12Then, when the wall collapses, you will be asked, “What became of the plaster you daubed on?”

13Assuredly, thus said Hashem: In My fury I will let loose hurricane winds; in My anger a driving rain shall descend, and great hailstones in destructive fury.

14I will throw down the wall that you daubed with plaster, and I will raze it to the ground so that its foundation is exposed; and when it falls, you shall perish in its midst; then you shall know that I am Hashem.

15And when I have spent My fury upon the wall and upon those who daubed it with plaster, I will say to you: Gone is the wall and gone are its daubers,

16the Neviim of Yisrael who prophesy about Yerushalayim and see a vision of well-being for her when there is no well-being—declares Hashem.

17And you, O mortal, set your face against the women of your people, who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them

18and say: Thus said Hashem: Woe to those who sew pads on all arm-joints and make bonnets for the head of every person, in order to entrap! Can you hunt down lives among My people, while you preserve your own lives?

19You have profaned My name among My people in return for handfuls of barley and morsels of bread; you have announced the death of persons who will not die and the survival of persons who will not live—lying to My people, who listen to your lies.

20Assuredly, thus said Hashem: I am going to deal with your pads, by which you hunt down lives like birds, and I will tear them from your arms and free the persons whose lives you hunt down like birds.

21I will tear off your bonnets and rescue My people from your hands, and they shall no longer be prey in your hands; then you shall know that I am Hashem.

22Because you saddened the heart of the innocent with lies, when I would not inflict suffering on him, and encouraged the wicked not to repent of his evil ways and so gain life—
