Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
And you, son of man, turn and face the women among your people who are making up their own prophecies from their hearts instead of speaking God's truth, call them out on it.
God wants you to confront people who twist his message for their own agenda.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet is addressing the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, a time of great spiritual confusion and false guidance. God instructs Ezekiel to speak out against false prophets, including women who claimed to prophesy from their own hearts rather than from divine inspiration, as these individuals were misleading the people with deceptive messages. This context highlights the danger of counterfeit spiritual leaders during Israel's exile, when the nation desperately needed true words from God.
