¶ The .xiij. Chapter.
¶ The worde of þe; Lorde agaynst false prophetes,
whych teach the people þe; councelles of theyr awne
hertes.
A The worde of the Lorde came vnto
me, sayinge: Thou sonne of
m&abar;. Speake, prophecye agaynst
those &pro;phetes, that preach in Israel
∧ saye thou vnto them that
prophecye out of theyr awne hertes: Heare
the worde of the Lord, thus sayeth the Lord
God: note Wo be vnto those folysh prophetes, þt;
folowe theyr awne sprete and speake where
they se nothyng. O Israel, thy prophetes are
lyke the foxes vpon the drye felde: For they
stande not in the gappes, nether make they
an hedge for the house of Israel, that men
myght abyde the battell in the daye of the
Lorde. Uayne thynges they se, and tell lyes,
to note mayntaine their preachynges wythall.
The Lorde (saye they) hath spoken it, whan
in very dede the Lorde hath not sent them.
Uayne visyons haue ye sene, and spok&ebar; false
prophecyes, wh&ebar; ye saye: the Lorde hath spoken
it, where as I neuer sayde it.
B Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord God: Because
youre wordes be vayne, and ye seke
out lyes: Beholde, I wyll vpon you, sayeth
the Lorde. Myne h&abar;des shall come vpon the
-- --
prophetes that loke out vayne thinges, and
preach lyes: they shall not be in the councell
of my people, ner wrytten in the boke of the
house of Israel, nether shall they come in the
lande of Israel: þt; ye maye knowe, howe þt; I
am the Lorde God. And that for by cause:
they haue dysceaued my people, note and tolde
th&ebar; of peace, where no peace was. One setteth
vp a wall, and they dawbe it with lowse
claye. Therfore tell them whych dawbe it
with vntempered morter, that it shall fall note
For there shall come a great shower of rayne
greate hayle stones shall fall vpon it, ∧ a
sore storme of wynde shall breake it, so shall
the wall come downe. Shall it not then be
sayde vnto you: where is nowe the morter,
that ye dawbed it wyth all? Therfore thus
sayeth the Lorde God: I wyll breake out in
my wrothfull displeasure wyth a stormy
wynde, so that in myne anger there shall come
a myghtye shower of rayne, ∧ hayle stones
in my wrath, to destroye withall.
C As for the wall, that ye haue dawbed &wt;
vntempered morter, I wyll breake it downe,
make it euen wyth the grounde: so þt; the
foundacyon therof shall remoue, and it shall
fall, yee, and ye youre selues shall perysh in
the myddest therof: to learne you for to knowe,
that I am the Lorde. Thus wyll I perfourme
my wrath vpon thys wall, and vp&obar;
them that haue dawbed it wyth vntempered
morter, and then wyll I saye vnto you:
The wall is gone, and the dawbers are awaye.
These are the prophetes of Israel,
which prophecye vnto the cytie of Ierusal&ebar;,
and loke out visi&obar;s of peace for them, where
as no peace is, sayeth the Lorde God. Wherfore
(O thou sonne of m&abar;) sett thy face agaynst
the daughters of thy people, which prophecye
out of their awne hertes: and speake
thou prophecye agaynst th&ebar;, and saye: Thus
sayeth the Lorde God: Wo be vnto you, that
sowe pylowes vnder all arme holes, &abar;d bolsters
vnder the heades both of y&obar;ge and olde,
to catch soules wyth all. note
D For whan ye
haue gotten the soules of my people in youre
captiuite, ye promyse them lyfe, and dishonoure
me to my people, for an h&abar;dfull of barly,
and for a pece of bread: whan ye kyll the
soules of th&ebar;, that dye not, and promes lyfe
to them, that lyue not: Thus ye dissemble &wt;
my people, that beleueth youre lyes.
Wherfore, thus sayeth the Lord God: Beholde,
I wyll also vpon the pyllowes, wherwyth
ye catch the soules in flyenge: th&ebar; wyll
I take from youre armes, and let the soules
go, that ye catch in fly&ebar;ge. Youre bolsters also
will I teare in peces, and delyuer my people
out of youre h&abar;d: so that they shall come
nomore in youre handes to be spoyled, and
ye shall knowe, that I am the Lorde. Seing
that with youre lyes ye discomforte the herte
of the ryghteous, whom I haue not disc&obar;forted:
Agayne: For so moch note as ye corage
the hande of the wycked, so that he maye not
turne from his wicked waye, and lyue: therfore
shall ye spye out nomore vanitie, ner &pro;phecye
youre awne gessynges: for I wyll delyuer
my people out of youre hande, that ye
maye knowe, howe that I am the Lorde.
