Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
While they're giving you fake visions and lying prophecies, they're setting you up to join the pile of bodies, all those corrupt people whose time has finally run out and whose wrongdoing is about to catch up with them.
False prophets will lead you straight into the same destruction waiting for everyone else who's been living wrong.
📚 Historical Context
During the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the prophet Ezekiel delivered messages from God to the exiled Israelites and neighboring nations, warning of divine judgment for their idolatry and moral corruption. False prophets and diviners were spreading deceptive visions and lies, which misled people and hastened their downfall, as seen in this verse that targets the wicked Ammonites or similar groups. This context reflects God's use of Ezekiel to expose spiritual falsehoods amid impending invasion and destruction.
