“Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!” (13:3). Ezekiel declared God’s judgment against prophets who lied about God and “whitewashed” the sins of Israel instead of declaring God’s truth. They covered up sin instead of exposing it, promoting a false “peace” for the sake of profit (13:19). Even the “elders of Israel” had “set up idols in their hearts” (14:3), so they could not hear or understand God’s Word clearly.

God allowed Israel to experience hardship so that He could “recapture the hearts of the people” (14:5). The “idols of our hearts” bring pain and bondage, but the rule of Christ brings freedom and joy.
