Ezekiel 13:5-7
International Standard Version
5 You didn’t go up to repair[a] the breaches in the walls and you didn’t build the walls so Israel’s house would be able to endure battle on the Day of the Lord. 6 Instead, they crafted[b] false prophecies and divination.
“‘They say, “…declares the Lord,” even though the Lord didn’t send them. And they hope for the fulfillment of their message. 7 You’ve crafted[c] a false prophesy and spoken deceptive divination, haven’t you? But then you say, “…declares the Lord,” although I haven’t spoken a single word.

New International Version
5 You have not gone up to the breaches in the wall to repair(A) it for the people of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the Lord.(B) 6 Their visions are false(C) and their divinations a lie. Even though the Lord has not sent(D) them, they say, “The Lord declares,” and expect him to fulfill their words.(E) 7 Have you not seen false visions(F) and uttered lying divinations when you say, “The Lord declares,” though I have not spoken?
