Have you not seen a false vision and uttered a lying divination, whenever you have said, ‘Declares the LORD,’ although I have not spoken?”
Here God shows why he had formerly pronounced that they brought forward nothing but vanity and falsehood, namely, because they used his name falsely, and out of light created darkness; for by the feint of speaking in God’s name, they darkened men’s minds.
False prophets everywhere, in Jerusalem, in Babylon, speak the same lies, driven by one spirit of error, just as true prophets preach the same truth guided by one good Spirit. Though they are hardened beyond hope of repentance, Ezekiel must testify against them so the people may be warned and they left inexcusable.
