Ezekiel 13:1

CHAPTER XIII

This chapter denounces heavy judgments against the lying

prophets who flattered the people, in the midst of their sin

and danger, with false hopes of peace and security, 1-9.

The work of these deceivers is beautifully compared to a frail

and insolent piece of building, which can never stand against

the battering elements of heaven, (the Chaldean forces,) which

God will commission against it, 10-16.

In the remaining part of the chapter woes are denounced against

false prophetesses who practiced vain rites and divinations,

with the view of promoting their own gain by deceiving the

people, 17-23.
