1And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying
2“Son of man, prophesy against the Prophets of Israel who prophesy to them, and say to those who prophesy from their heart: ‘Hear the word of THE LORD OF LORDS
3Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: woe to the madmen Prophets who go after their spirit, who have not seen a vision
4Like foxes among the ruins they have been your Prophets, oh Israel!
5You did not go up into the wall gaps, also you did not build a fence for those of the house of Israel in which to stand in war in the day of LORD JEHOVAH
6For they say, ‘Thus says LORD JEHOVAH’, and LORD JEHOVAH has not sent them, and they begin to affirm a lying word
7A worthless vision you have seen, and lying divination you have spoken, and you were saying: ‘LORD JEHOVAH says”, and I have not said 8Because of this, says THE LORD OF LORDS, because you saw worthlessness and you have spoken falsehood, behold, I am against you, says THE LORD OF LORDS 9And my hands shall be against the Prophets who see worthlessness and falsehood. They shall not be within my people and in the book of the house of Israel they shall not be written, and they shall not enter the land of Israel, and you shall know that I AM THE LORD OF LORDS 10Because they have deceived my people and they said “Peace!”, and there is no peace, and one was building a wall, and those plaster it that it may fall 11Say to those who plaster it that it may fall, “Behold I am giving rain that overflows and the stones of a millstone shall fall and the wind of a hurricane 12And it shall break open and the wall shall fall, and it shall be said to you: ‘Where is the plaster that you plastered?’ 13Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘I shall make the wind of a hurricane blow in my anger, and rain that floods it shall come in my passion, and the stones of a millstone shall destroy in my anger 14And I shall throw down the wall that you plastered, and it shall fall, and I shall cast it to the ground and its foundations shall be exposed and you shall fall, and you shall be consumed within it, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH 15And I shall fulfill my rage on the wall and on those who were plastering it, when it will fall, and it will be said to you, “Where is the wall and where are those who were plastering it?” 16These are the Prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem and see a vision of peace, and there is no peace, says THE LORD OF LORDS 17And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy from their hearts, and prophesy against them and say to them: 18‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS, woe to those who sew cushions for the joints of the hands, and they make coverings for every head and for everybody to hunt souls. You hunt the souls of my people, and will you save your souls? 19And you have polluted my people with a handful of barley and with a piece of bread to kill those souls that did not deserve to die, and to save the life of the those souls that did not deserve to live, and you have lied to the people that hear falsehood 20Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Behold, I am against your cushions by which you hunt souls and I shall rip them from your arms, and I shall release those souls whom you hunt and I shall make them fly 21And I shall tear your garments and I shall save my people from your hands, and they shall not be given up again in a net into your hands, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH 22Because you struck the heart of the Righteous One with lies, and I have not made him sad, and you have held the hands of the evil that they would not turn from their evil ways and live 23Therefore you shall not see emptiness and you shall not divine divinations again, and I shall save my people from your hands, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
