EZEKIEL 22:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.”
And her prophets have smeared whitewash on their behalf, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, Thus says the Lord God, when the Lord has not spoken. The false prophets provide divine sanction to the princes' violence through false divination. The whitewash metaphor suggests superficial covering of deep corruption. The lying prophets enable the princes' wickedness by claiming divine authorization.
