⁹ ·I will punish [^LMy hand will be against] the prophets who see false visions and ·prophesy lies [utter lying divinations]. They will ·have no place among [^Lnot be in the council of] my people. Their names will not be written on the ·list [records; registry] of the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, and they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.

¹⁰ “‘It is because they lead my people ·the wrong way [astray] by saying, “Peace!” when there is no peace. When the people build a ·weak [flimsy] wall, the prophets cover it with whitewash [^Cto make it look strong or to cover its flaws]. ¹¹ So tell those who cover ·a weak wall [^Lit] with whitewash that it will fall down. ·Rain will pour down [There will be a deluge of rain], hailstones will fall, and a windstorm will break the wall down.
