Ezekiel13:23

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

See chap. 12.24. Either these Prophetesses with the Prophets of the same stamp shall perish in the day of calamity, and the miseries that they perswaded others to sleight and contemn. Or, else, if they live, they shall live to see all their predictions of prosperity vanish, to see the righteous, whom they threatned, escape, and the wicked, whom they spake good of, fall under miseries, this shall so confound them, they shall cease f[illegible: 1 letter]r ever, and pretend no more visions. Your credit shall be gone, and you found false dreamers, you shall never more be able to keep up any power over, or interest in my people. Not one just righteous soul shall ever grieve, or apprehend cause of fear from what you threaten, and the unrighteous shall no more joy in the expectation of these lying promises. All shall know that I am the Lord, who fulfil promises to the just, and execute threats on the bad.

Marginal references: Mich. 3.6.
