They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. / They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’ <a href="/matthew/7-15.htm">Matthew 7:15</a> Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. <a href="/2_peter/2-1.htm">2 Peter 2:1-3</a> Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. / Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed. / In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep. <a href="/jeremiah/14-14.htm">Jeremiah 14:14</a> “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD. “I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, a worthless divination, the futility and delusion of their own minds. <a href="/1_john/4-1.htm">1 John 4:1</a> Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world. <a href="/deuteronomy/18-20.htm">Deuteronomy 18:20-22</a> But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death.” / You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?” / When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him. <a href="/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a> For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. <a href="/2_corinthians/11-13.htm">2 Corinthians 11:13-15</a> For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. / And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. / It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions. <a href="/jeremiah/23-21.htm">Jeremiah 23:21-22</a> I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. / But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.” <a href="/acts/20-29.htm">Acts 20:29-30</a> I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. / Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them. <a href="/micah/3-5.htm">Micah 3:5-7</a> This is what the LORD says: “As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths: / Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them. / Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.” <a href="/1_timothy/4-1.htm">1 Timothy 4:1-2</a> Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, / influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron. <a href="/zechariah/10-2.htm">Zechariah 10:2</a> For idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell false dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd. <a href="/2_timothy/4-3.htm">2 Timothy 4:3-4</a> For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. / So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. <a href="/isaiah/30-10.htm">Isaiah 30:10</a> They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth!

This phrase addresses the false prophets in Israel who were misleading the people with deceptive visions and divination. In the ancient Near East, divination was a common practice used to predict the future or discern the will of the gods. However, God condemns these practices as they lead people away from His truth. The false visions refer to the misleading prophecies that gave the Israelites a false sense of security. In the broader biblical context, false prophecy is consistently denounced (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-20.htm">Deuteronomy 18:20-22</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/23-16.htm">Jeremiah 23:16-32</a>). The cessation of these practices signifies God's judgment and the restoration of true prophecy, aligning with His will and truth.I will deliver My people from your hands. This statement emphasizes God's protective nature and His commitment to rescuing His people from deception and spiritual bondage. The false prophets had a hold over the people, leading them astray and causing them to stray from God's commandments. God's deliverance is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, seen in the Exodus narrative (<a href="/exodus/6-6.htm">Exodus 6:6</a>) and the deliverance from Babylonian captivity (<a href="/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14</a>). This deliverance is not just physical but also spiritual, pointing to the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who frees believers from sin and deception (<a href="/john/8-32.htm">John 8:32-36</a>).Then you will know that I am the LORD.” This concluding phrase underscores the purpose of God's actions: to reveal His sovereignty and identity to His people. The recognition of God as the LORD is a central theme in Ezekiel, where God's actions are often followed by the declaration that the people will know He is the LORD (<a href="/ezekiel/6-7.htm">Ezekiel 6:7, 11</a>:10). This knowledge is not merely intellectual but relational, calling the people to acknowledge His authority and enter into a covenant relationship with Him. It also foreshadows the New Covenant through Christ, where believers come to know God personally (<a href="/hebrews/8-10.htm">Hebrews 8:10-12</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God during the Babylonian exile, tasked with delivering God's messages to the Israelites. 2. <a href="/topical/f/false_prophets.htm">False Prophets</a> Individuals in Israel who claimed to speak for God but delivered false visions and practiced divination, leading the people astray. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> God's chosen people, who were often led astray by false prophets and needed deliverance. 4. <a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a> The period when the Israelites were exiled to Babylon, a time of judgment and reflection for the nation. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The one true God, who seeks to reveal Himself to His people and deliver them from deception.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/d/discernment_in_spiritual_matters.htm">Discernment in Spiritual Matters</a> Believers must cultivate discernment to recognize false teachings and visions that do not align with God's Word. <a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_deliverance.htm">God's Sovereignty and Deliverance</a> Trust in God's ability to deliver His people from deception and falsehood, reaffirming His sovereignty and faithfulness. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_knowing_god.htm">The Importance of Knowing God</a> Understanding and knowing the LORD is crucial for spiritual growth and protection against falsehood. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_true_prophets_and_teachers.htm">The Role of True Prophets and Teachers</a> True prophets and teachers align their messages with Scripture and lead people closer to God, not away from Him. <a href="/topical/a/accountability_and_repentance.htm">Accountability and Repentance</a> False prophets and those who follow them are called to accountability and repentance, recognizing the LORD as the ultimate authority.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 13</a> <a href="/q/is_the_trinity_visible_in_heaven.htm">Is the Trinity visible in heaven?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_apocalypse.htm">What does the Bible say about the apocalypse?</a> <a href="/q/is_ezekiel_13's_prophecy_documented.htm">Is there any non-biblical historical record of the destruction predicted for false prophets in Ezekiel 13 being fulfilled or documented?</a> <a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_ezekiel_13_with_true_prophecies.htm">How do we reconcile the harsh condemnation of 'false prophets' in Ezekiel 13:2-3 with claims about genuine prophecies elsewhere in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(23) Ye shall see no more vanity.--As so often the judgment is expressed in the same form with the Sin. These false prophetesses had sinned by their lying visions, and they should see them no more, because the event should soon expose their utter falsity to the eyes of all.
