A common misinterpretation views this verse as a blanket dismissal of all visions or prophecies, ignoring the biblical distinction between true divine messages and human inventions; others wrongly apply it to discredit sincere ministers today based on disagreement rather than evidence of falsehood, or assume it excuses skepticism toward any supernatural claim without discerning God's voice as scripture teaches.
Ezekiel 13:7
King James Version (1769)
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
Ezekiel 13:7 condemns false prophets who fabricate vain visions and lying divinations while falsely attributing them to God by claiming 'The LORD saith it,' when He has not spoken, underscoring the grave sin of presuming divine authority without genuine revelation and the need for prophetic integrity to avoid deceiving God's people amid judgment on Israel.
