Context — Israel’s Wicked Leaders
26Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
27Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives for dishonest gain.
28Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
29The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice. 30I searched for a man among them to repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it. But I found no one.Cross References

Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth. Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’ Therefore 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. I 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. And 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— those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’ |

Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD. “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?” “Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.” “Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’” “Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD. |

Ezekiel 22:28 Summary
[This verse is talking about prophets who were supposed to be speaking for God, but instead they were making up their own messages and saying they were from God, which is a serious sin, as seen in Jeremiah 23:16-32. They were trying to make the people feel better about their sinful actions, rather than calling them to repentance, similar to the way the Bible teaches us to confront sin in Galatians 6:1. We can learn from this verse to always check what we're being taught against the Bible, and to seek guidance from God Himself, as encouraged in Psalm 119:105. By doing so, we can avoid being led astray by false teachers and instead follow God's true path, as taught in Matthew 7:13-14.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for prophets to 'whitewash' deeds?
To whitewash means to cover up or gloss over something that is wrong, in this case, the evil deeds of the people, by making them appear acceptable or even righteous, as seen in Ezekiel 22:28, similar to the way Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their hypocrisy in Matthew 23:27.
How can we know if a prophet is speaking from God or not?
The Bible teaches that we can test a prophet's words by seeing if they align with Scripture and if they come true, as stated in Deuteronomy 18:22, and also by examining the character and fruit of the prophet's life, as Jesus taught in Matthew 7:15-20.
What is the significance of the phrase 'the LORD has not spoken' in this verse?
This phrase emphasizes that the prophets were falsely attributing their words to God, when in reality, God had not spoken to them or through them, highlighting the importance of seeking true guidance from God, as seen in Proverbs 30:5-6.
How does this verse relate to our lives today?
This verse serves as a warning to be cautious of false teachers and prophets who may claim to speak for God but are actually leading people astray, and to instead seek guidance from the Bible and the Holy Spirit, as encouraged in 1 John 4:1-6.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be 'whitewashing' my own sins or the sins of others, and how can I repent and seek God's truth?
- How can I discern whether a spiritual leader or teacher is speaking from God or not, and what are some red flags to watch out for?
- In what ways can I seek to hear God's true voice and guidance in my life, and how can I distinguish it from my own thoughts or the opinions of others?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be tempted to attribute my own thoughts or desires to God, and how can I cultivate a more honest and humble relationship with Him?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 22:28
And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:28
Prophets; false prophets. Have daubed them; flattered their oppressing bloody princes in their ways of sin and violence. With untempered mortar; with promises and encouragements that, like ill tempered mortar, will deceive them, though all seems for the present smooth and safe. Divining lies; pretending they had by vision from God all the good they promised, whereas it was all a notorious lie and falsehood. God never spake to those prophets, and what by his own prophets he spake was of quite another tenure, it was evil, not good.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:28
Ezekiel 22:28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [morter], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.Ver. 28. And her prophets have daubed them.] Similes iis qui parietem incrustant luto friabili et solubili. See Ezekiel 13:4, &c.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:28
(28) With untempered morter.—See Note on Ezekiel 13:10. The prophets are here again spoken of in reference to their powerful influence upon the princes in leading them astray by falsehoods. “Seeing vanity” is an expression for pretended and false visions. (Comp. Ezekiel 13:7; Ezekiel 13:9-10.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:28
Verse 28. Her prophets] Even those who profess themselves to be my prophets, have been unfaithful in the discharge of their office; have soothed the people in their sins, and pretended to have oracles of peace and safety when I had not spoken to them.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 22:28
28. have daubed them] daubed for them, seconding them. The persons called “princes” may be referred to, but not exclusively. Cf. ch. Ezekiel 13:10, and Ezekiel 13:6-7.
