“Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!”
Ezekiel pronounces woe upon the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing, a devastating indictment that simultaneously mocks their claims to visionary experience. The term "foolish" (naval) carries connotations of moral depravity beyond mere intellectual deficiency, suggesting these prophets have abandoned ethical and spiritual discernment. The assertion that they "have seen nothing" denies the fundamental claim that all true prophets make: direct encounter with God's glory and word. This verse establishes that false prophecy is not merely wrong doctrine but a complete absence of authentic spiritual vision.
