Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Ver. 3. Woe unto the foolish prophets.] Wise enough they were in their generation - and so are the foxes, whereto they are compared Eze 13:4 - but in the things of God, silly simples, blinder than moles.
That follow their own spirit.] Aud their own fancies, acted and abused by that great lying spirit.
And have seen nothing.] Nothing from God, though they thought and pretended they had seen something. All was but lies; Jer 27:10 dreams; Jer 23:32 things of naught. Eze 22:28 As Antipheron Orietes in Aristotle thought that everywhere he saw his own shape and picture going before him; so here. Now a woe is denounced against these; vae woe, is a little word, but very comprehensive, as there is often much poison in little drops.
