Ezekiel 13:12

Reproof of False Prophets

11tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth.12Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
