Ezekiel 13:10-16
“ Since they have led My people astray saying,‘ Peace,’ when there is no peace, for when someone builds a wall they plaster it with whitewash,therefore, tell those who plaster it that it will fall. Torrential rain will come, and I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will be released.Now when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked,‘ Where is the coat of whitewash that you put on it?’“ So this is what the Lord God says: I will release a windstorm in My wrath. Torrential rain will come in My anger, and hailstones will fall in destructive fury.I will tear down the wall you plastered with whitewash and knock 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 Yahweh.After I exhaust My wrath against the wall and against those who plaster it with whitewash, I will say to you: The wall is no more and neither are those who plastered it—those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

May the Lord do so. May the Lord make the words you have prophesied come true and may He restore the articles of the Lord’s temple and all the exiles from Babylon to this place!Only listen to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.As for the prophet who prophesies peace— only when the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the Lord has truly sent.”
