1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, prorokuj protiv proroka Izrailjevih koji prorokuju, i reci tim koji prorokuju iz svog srca: Čujte reč Gospodnju.

3 Ovako govori Gospod Gospod: Teško ludim prorocima koji idu za svojim duhom, a ništa nisu videli.

4 Proroci su tvoji, Izrailju, kao lisice po pustinjama.

5 Ne izlazite na prolome i ne ograđujete dom Izrailjev da bi se održao u boju u dan Gospodnji.

6 Vide taštinu i gatanje lažno, pa govore: Gospod kaže, a Gospod ih nije poslao, i daju nadu da će se reč ispuniti.

7 Ne viđate li taštu utvaru i ne govorite li lažno gatanje? A opet kažete: Gospod reče; a ja ne rekoh.

8 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Zato što govorite taštinu i vidite laž, za to evo mene na vas, govori Gospod Gospod.

9 I ruka će moja biti protiv proroka koji vide taštinu i gataju laž; neće ih biti u zboru naroda mog, i u prepisu doma Izrailjevog neće biti zapisani, niti će doći u zemlju Izrailjevu; i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod Gospod.

10 Zato, zato što prelastiše narod moj govoreći: Mir je, a mira ne beše; i jedan ozida zid, a drugi ga namazaše krečem nevaljalim;

11 Reci onim što mažu nevaljalim krečem da će pasti; doći će silan dažd, i vi, kamenje velikog grada, pašćete i oluja će razvaliti.

12 I gle, kad padne zid, neće li vam se reći: Gde je kreč kojim mazaste?

13 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Razvaliću olujom u gnevu svom, i silan će dažd doći u gnevu mom, i kamenje velikog grada u jarosti mojoj da potre.

14 I razvaliću zid koji namazaste nevaljalim krečem, i oboriću ga na zemlju da će mu se otkriti temelj, i pašće, i vi ćete izginuti usred njega, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

15 I tako ću navršiti gnev svoj na zidu i na onima koji ga mažu krečem nevaljalim, i reći ću vam: Nema zida, niti onih koji ga mazaše,

16 Proroka Izrailjevih koji prorokuju Jerusalimu i vide mu utvare za mir, a mira nema, govori Gospod Gospod.

17 A ti, sine čovečji, okreni lice svoje prema kćerima naroda svog, koje prorokuju iz svog srca, i prorokuj protiv njih.

18 I reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: teško onima koje šiju uzglavlja pod sve laktove i grade pokrivala na glavu svakog rasta da love duše. Lovite duše mog naroda, a svoje li ćete duše sačuvati?

19 I skvrnite me kod naroda mog za grst ječma i za zalogaj hleba ubijajući duše, koje ne bi trebalo da umru, i čuvajući u životu duše koje ne treba da žive, lažući narodu mom, koji sluša laž.

20 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Evo mene na vaša uzglavlja, na koja lovite duše da vam doleću, i poderaću ih ispod lakata vaših, i pustiću duše koje lovite da vam doleću.

21 I poderaću pokrivala vaša i izbaviću svoj narod iz vaših ruku, i neće više biti u vašim rukama da vam budu lov, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

22 Jer žalostiste lažju srce pravedniku, kog ja ne ožalostih, i krepiste ruke bezbožniku da se ne vrati sa svog zlog puta da se sačuva u životu.

23 Zato nećete viđati taštine i nećete više gatati, nego ću izbaviti narod svoj iz vaših ruku, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

Sent

  

'Being sent' means coming forth, (or going forth), in the internal sense, as in John 17:8. In similar manner, it is said of the holy of the spirit, that it was 'sent,' that is, it goes forth from the divine of the Lord, as in John 15:26, 16:5, 7.

So, too, the prophets were called 'the sent,' because the words which they spoke went forth from the holy of the spirit of the Lord.

'To be sent,' as in Genesis 37:13, signifies teaching.

2397. 'And Jehovah has sent us to destroy it' means that they must inevitably perish - these words being similar in meaning to the things stated above in 2395. By the pronoun 'us', that is, the men or the angels, is meant the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding, as shown above. By means of these the good were saved and the evil perished; though the latter in fact perished according to the law that evil itself destroyed them. And because they perished in this fashion, doing so as a result of the Lord's Coming into the world, it is said according to the appearance that they were sent to destroy them.

[2] Several times in the Word it is said of the Lord that He was 'sent from the Father', as is said here, 'Jehovah has sent us'. In every instance however 'being sent' means in the internal sense coming forth, as in John,

They have received and know in truth that I came forth from You, and they have believed that You sent Me. John 17:8.

Similarly elsewhere, as in the same gospel,

God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3:17.

In the same gospel,

He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent Him. John 5:23

Many other examples exist besides these, as in Matthew 10:40; 15:24; John 3:34; 4:34; 5:30, 36-38; 6:29, 39-40, 44, 57; 7:16, 18, 28-29; 8:16, 18, 29, 42; 9:4; 10 John 36; 11:41-42; 12:44-45, 49; 13:20; 14:24; 17:18; 20:21; Luke 4:43; 9:48; 10:16; Mark 9:37; Isaiah 61:1.

[3] The Holiness of the Spirit is in similar fashion spoken of as being sent, that is, as going forth from the Lord's Divine, as in John,

Jesus said, When the Paraclete comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will bear witness to Me. John 15:26.

In the same gospel,

If I go away I will send the Paraclete to you. John 16:5, 7.

This is why the prophets were spoken of as being 'sent', for the words they uttered went forth from the Holiness of the Lord's Spirit. And because it is from Divine Good that all Divine Truth goes forth the expression 'to be sent' strictly speaking has reference to Divine Truth. What 'going forth' is, is also evident, namely that he who goes forth, or the thing that goes forth, is part of him from whom it goes forth.
