Ezekiel 13 · Grade 3
Foxes and a Whitewashed Wall
Read the Story
God told Ezekiel to speak against prophets who prophesied out of their own heart. They had seen nothing from God. God said they were like foxes in the waste places.
They had not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall to protect the people. Instead they promised peace when there was no peace.
God said they were like people who plaster a weak wall with whitewash. A storm would come with rain and hailstones, and the wall would fall. Then everyone would see that their words were not true.
Memory Verse
“You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in Yahweh’s day.”
