Ezekiel 13 contains a firm condemnation of false prophets and false prophetesses that "prophesy out of their own imagination". God says "woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing". God says "I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord... they lead my people astray saying peace when there is no peace". It's as if they build a flimsy wall and cover it with whitewash to make it look good and safe! "I will tear down the cracked wall". Then too God condemns the prophetesses who put magic charms on their wrists to ensnare the people. "By lying to my people you have killed those who shouldn't have died and spared them who should not live... I will tear off your magic charms and veils... because you disheartened the righteous with your lies... I will save the people from your hands".
