Reproof of False Prophets
(Micah 2:6–11)
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD! Ezk 13:17Jer 37:19Ezk 22:25Ezk 22:28Isa 1:10Isa 9:151Ki 22:192Ch 18:18-24 This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing. Lam 2:14Jer 23:28-32Hos 9:7Ezk 34:2Jer 23:1Mat 23:13-29Pro 15:141Co 9:16 Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins. Rev 19:201Ti 4:1-22Co 11:13-152Th 2:9-10Eph 4:14Gal 2:4Mat 7:15Mic 2:11 You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD. Ezk 22:30Isa 58:12Psa 106:23Isa 13:6Isa 13:9Jer 23:221Th 5:22Pe 3:10
They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message. Ezk 22:28Jer 28:15Jer 29:8Ezk 21:29Jer 37:19Jer 14:14Zec 10:21Ki 22:27
Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken? Ezk 13:2-3Ezk 13:6Mat 24:23-24
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD. Ezk 21:3Ezk 5:8Ezk 26:3Ezk 28:22Ezk 35:3Nam 2:131Pe 3:121Ti 4:1 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD. Psa 69:28Psa 87:6Dan 12:1Ezk 20:38Ezr 2:59Jer 28:15-17Jer 20:3-6Psa 101:7
Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built, Ezk 13:16Ezk 22:282Ki 21:9Jer 14:13Jer 6:14Jer 8:111Jn 2:261Ti 4:1 tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth. Ezk 38:22Isa 28:2Isa 25:4Isa 28:15-18Isa 29:6Isa 32:19Job 27:21Luk 6:48-49 Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’ 2Ki 3:13Deu 32:37Jdg 10:14Jdg 9:38Jer 2:28Jer 29:31-32Jer 37:19Lam 2:14-15
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury. Isa 30:30Psa 148:8Rev 11:19Rev 16:21Psa 18:12-13Exo 9:18-29Hag 2:17Jer 23:19 I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD. Jer 14:15Jer 6:15Mic 1:6Ezk 13:23Ezk 13:9Hab 3:131Co 3:11-15Ezk 13:21
And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it— Isa 30:13Neh 4:3Psa 62:3 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’ Ezk 13:10Jer 6:14Jer 8:11Isa 48:22Isa 57:20-21Jer 28:1Jer 29:31Jer 5:31
Reproof of False Prophetesses
Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them Ezk 13:22Ki 22:14Jdg 4:4Rev 2:20Luk 2:362Pe 2:1Ezk 20:46Ezk 21:2 and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own? 2Pe 2:14Ezk 13:202Ti 4:3Ezk 22:25Jer 6:14Eph 4:14Ezk 13:10Ezk 13:16 You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived. Mic 3:5Pro 28:21Ezk 20:39Ezk 22:26Jer 23:14Jer 23:171Sa 2:16-17Mic 3:11
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds. Ezk 13:182Ti 3:8-9Ezk 13:15-16Ezk 13:8-9 I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD. Psa 91:3
Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives, Jer 23:14Jer 14:13-172Pe 2:18-19Ezk 13:16Ezk 9:4Gen 3:4-5Jer 23:17Ezk 18:21 therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.” Ezk 13:21Ezk 12:24Mic 3:6Ezk 34:10Rev 12:11Rev 12:9Zec 13:31Co 11:19
