Ezekiel 13:3 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Foolish prophets. — They were certainly foolish who undertook to forge the name of the Omniscient, as it were, to utterances of their own devising. Folly according to the use of the word in the Old Testament, was not merely an intellectual failing, but was always associated with moral obliquity. (See Psalms 14:1, and Proverbs throughout.) The last clause of the verse is better expressed in the margin: these prophets were. “seers of that which they have not seen.”

Ezekiel 13:3

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that followa their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
