Ezekiel13:6
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, the LORD saith, and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
They pretend to have seen but still they see nothing, as ver. 2. The Prophet speaks as if indeed they had seen, but the very censure of the things they said they saw, clears it, that all was but pretence.
Things that have no ground or foundation, and which will never be, and are therefore called vanity and lying Divinations.
Foretelleth and promiseth.
Never revealed any such thing to them, or bade them tell the Jews any such thing.
By their pretences, and arguments they have wheedled some into a belief of their word, and into a hope of that they promise, and so the credulous Jew is undone by his Prophet, who tells him all is well and needs no alteration, and all will be well, and they need fear no desolation.
