Ezekiel 13:10-15
New Living Translation
10 “This will happen because these evil prophets deceive my people by saying, ‘All is peaceful’ when there is no peace at all! It’s as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to reinforce it by covering it with whitewash! 11 Tell these whitewashers that their wall will soon fall down.

Then I will say to you: ‘The wall and those who whitewashed it are both gone.
