Ezekiel 13:10-12
New English Translation

10 “‘This is because they have led my people astray saying, “All is well,”[a] when things are not well. When anyone builds a wall without mortar,[b] they coat it with whitewash. 11 Tell the ones who coat it with whitewash that it will fall. When there is a deluge of rain, hailstones[c] will fall and a violent wind will break out.[d] 12 When the wall has collapsed, people will ask you, “Where is the whitewash you coated it with?”

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 13:10 tn Or “peace.”
  2. Ezekiel 13:10 tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3), it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here, which compares the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.
  3. Ezekiel 13:11 tn Heb “and you, O hailstones.”
  4. Ezekiel 13:11 sn A violent wind will break out. God’s judgments are frequently described in storm imagery (Pss 18:7-15; 77:17-18; 83:15; Isa 28:17; 30:30; Jer 23:19; 30:23).
