Ezekiel 13:15

King James Version (1769)

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
Untruth

Common misinterpretations of Ezekiel 13:15 include reading it literally as divine condemnation of shoddy masonry or construction failures rather than a metaphor for false prophets' unstable visions; others erroneously apply it to advocate destroying physical walls or barriers today, ignoring the prophetic context, or misconstrue it as God opposing all forms of protection, thus divorcing the verse from its warning against spiritual hypocrisy and vain assurances.

Truth

Ezekiel 13:15 proclaims God's decisive judgment against the illusory wall of false prophecies erected by deceitful prophets, who daubed it with untempered mortar symbolizing superficial and unstable coverings over lies; this reveals the core truth that divine wrath will utterly demolish all human-engineered securities and deceptions that contradict God's sovereign truth, leaving no remnant of false hope or prophetic pretense.
