Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
Tell those people slapping on cheap, watery paint that their wall is going down. There's going to be a massive downpour, huge hailstones are going to slam into it, and violent winds are going to tear the whole thing apart.
Shortcuts and fake fixes don't hold up when the real storms hit.
📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet speaking to the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, a time when false prophets were misleading the people with deceptive messages of peace and security amid impending divine judgment. In Ezekiel 13, he uses the imagery of building a wall with untempered mortar, weak and unstable material, to symbolize these false prophecies that would crumble under God's coming storm of punishment. This warning highlighted the dangers of spiritual deception in a society facing exile and the need for true prophetic guidance.
