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?’
13Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.
14I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 15And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it—Cross References

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.” So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt. The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation. Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree. The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived. Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

Ezekiel 13:13 Summary
[Ezekiel 13:13 tells us that God will release a windstorm, rain, and hail as a sign of His wrath and judgment. This is a powerful reminder of God's holiness and righteousness, as seen in other verses like Psalm 97:2. In simple terms, God is saying that He will not tolerate sin and false teachings, and He will judge those who oppose Him. This should motivate us to seek God's mercy and forgiveness, as promised in verses like 1 John 1:9.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the windstorm, rain, and hail in Ezekiel 13:13?
The windstorm, rain, and hail represent God's judgment and wrath, as seen in other scriptures like Jeremiah 23:19 and Isaiah 30:30, where similar imagery is used to describe God's powerful and destructive judgment.
Is God's wrath only directed at those who whitewash the wall, or is it a broader judgment?
While the immediate context suggests God's wrath is directed at those who whitewash the wall, the broader biblical context, such as in Romans 1:18, indicates that God's wrath is also directed at all unrighteousness and ungodliness.
How does Ezekiel 13:13 relate to the concept of God's love and mercy?
Although Ezekiel 13:13 emphasizes God's wrath, it is essential to remember that God's love and mercy are also central to His character, as seen in verses like John 3:16 and Psalm 103:8, which highlight His compassion and lovingkindness.
What is the purpose of God's judgment in Ezekiel 13:13?
The purpose of God's judgment is to reveal His holiness and righteousness, as stated in Ezekiel 13:14, and to bring people to repentance, as seen in other scriptures like Luke 13:3 and Acts 17:30.
Reflection Questions
- How do I respond to God's warning of judgment in my own life, and what areas of my life need to be aligned with His will?
- In what ways can I be like the false prophets who whitewash the wall, and how can I instead be a truthful and faithful representative of God's message?
- What are some ways I can demonstrate my trust in God's sovereignty and control, even in the face of challenges and difficulties?
- How can I balance the concepts of God's love and mercy with His wrath and judgment, and what does this mean for my understanding of His character?

And great hailstones in my fury.] Thrice in this one Ezekiel 13:11 : is fury threatened, so hot is God’ s displeasure against seducers.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 13:13
(6) They have made others to hope.—Omit the word “others,” which is not in the original, and translate, “The Lord hath not sent them that they should hope”—i.e., they have no ground to expect that their prophecies will prove true, because they have no warrant for uttering them. D: ON CHAPTER 13:6, 7, AND 17. In these verses a broad and crucial distinction is made between the self-imagined vision and that which is sent from the Lord. It may be that in this case the prophets and prophetesses were untrue to their own convictions, and wilfully declared what they knew to be false; or it may be that they simply uttered as God’s message that which they had persuaded themselves would be the issue. This point is not entirely clear from the passage, and is of secondary importance. What deserves to be carefully noted is the difference here made between subjective views of truth—that which conies “out of their own heart”—and those objective communications which God gave to His true prophets. This distinction has a most important bearing upon the whole subject of revelation, and establishes clearly the fact that the Scriptures look upon it as something expressly communicated to their writers, and not as a thing which could be the result of their own thought and reflection. He, therefore, who puts “Thus saith the Lord” before that which God has not in some objective way made known to him, must fall under the condemnation pronounced here and elsewhere upon “the prophet which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak” (Deuteronomy 18:20).
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 13:13
13. rent it with a stormy wind] Rather: cause a stormy wind to break forth.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 13:13
13. I will even rend it with a stormy wind — Literally, I will cause a stormy wind to break forth. (See Ezekiel 13:11.) The invasion of foreign troops is often compared in Scripture to a storm.
