Ezekiel 13:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ “‘Therefore this is what the Lord God says, “Because you’ve spoken falsehood and deceptions, I am therefore opposing^[a] you,” declares the Lord God. ⁹ My hand will oppose the prophets who see false visions and speak deceptive divinations. They won’t be included with the council of my people, nor will they be entered into the registry of Israel’s house or enter Israel’s land. Then you’ll know that I am the Lord God, ¹⁰ because they’ve truly caused my people to stray saying, “Peace,” but there’s no peace.’”
