Ezekiel 13:1-16
Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall.
I will say to you, “The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord
The work of Jeremiah and Ezekiel was constantly undermined by false prophets, who told people what they wanted to hear, and claimed God's authority for their message of false hope. They were like plaster, concealing the crumbling structure of the nation, but unable to stop it falling. There were also prophetesses practising magic and holding helpless individuals in thrall.
Why?
Those prophets said lying visions and false words, so God's angry against them. For they refused said the truths and fear the Lord.
People like to hear what they like to hear, people like to hear the good news. But don't like to turn away from their sins. They put themselves above the Lord and others who says the truth.
It is because of their pride and arrogance mind.
Cover it with whitewash is false outside beauty.
How?
Be humble and fear the Lord, for God's way is the best way to me. Be careful do not proud to what I have done for it is the mercy of the Lord gave.
