Ezekiel 13:6

Reproof of False Prophets

5You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.6They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.
