NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Fili hominis, vaticinaread prophetas Israel, qui prophetant; et dices prophetantibus de corde suo:Audite verbum Domini.	2 “Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you shall say to those who prophesy from their own heart: Hear the word of the Lord:
3 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae prophetis insipientibus,qui sequuntur spiritum suum et nihil vident!	3 Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, and who see nothing.
4 Quasi vulpes in ruinis prophetaetui, Israel, facti sunt.	4 Your prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.
5 Non ascendistis confractiones neque opposuistis murumpro domo Israel, ut staretis in proelio in die Domini.	5 You have not gone up against the adversary, and you have not established a wall for the house of Israel, so as to stand in battle on the day of the Lord.
6 Vident vana et divinantmendacium dicentes: “Ait Dominus”, cum Dominus non miserit eos; etexspectant, ut confirmet sermonem.	6 They see emptiness, and they foretell falsehoods, saying, ‘The Lord says,’ though the Lord has not sent them. And they continued to affirm what they said.
7 Numquid non visionem cassam vidistis etdivinationem mendacem locuti estis, et dicitis: “Ait Dominus”, cum ego nonsim locutus?	7 Have you not seen a futile vision and spoken a lying divination? And yet you say, ‘The Lord says,’ though I have not spoken.
8 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia locuti estis vana et vidistismendacium, ideo ecce ego ad vos, ait Dominus Deus;	8 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have spoken emptiness and have seen falsehoods, therefore: behold, I am against you, says the Lord God.
9 et erit manus mea superprophetas, qui vident vana et divinant mendacium: in consilio populi mei nonerunt et in scriptura domus Israel non scribentur nec in terram Israelingredientur, et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.	9 And my hand will be over the prophets who are seeing emptiness and divining lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, and they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel. Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 Eo quod deceperint populummeum dicentes: “Pax”, et non est pax; et ipse aedificabat parietem, illiautem liniebant eum calce.	10 For they have deceived my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ and there is no peace. And they have built a wall, but they have covered it in clay without straw.
11 Dic ad eos, qui liniunt calce, quod casurus sit;erit enim imber inundans, et dabo lapides grandinis desuper irruentes et ventumprocellae dissipantem.	11 Say to those who spread mortar without mixing, that it will fall apart. For there will be an inundating rain, and I will cause full-grown hailstones to rush down from above, and a windstorm to dissipate it.
12 Siquidem ecce cecidit paries; numquid non diceturvobis: “Ubi est litura, quam levistis?”.	12 So then, behold: when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you: ‘Where is the mortar with which you covered it?’
13 Propterea haec dicit DominusDeus: Et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea, et imberinundans in furore meo erit, et lapides grandinis in ira in consumptionem;	13 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: And I will cause a violent wind to burst forth in my indignation, and there will be an inundating rain in my fury, and great hailstones in wrath, to consume.
14 etdestruam parietem, quem levistis calce, et adaequabo eum terrae, et revelabiturfundamentum eius, et cadet, et consumemini in medio eius et scietis quia ego sumDominus.	14 And I will destroy the wall that you have covered without tempering it. And I will level it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed. And it will fall and be consumed in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
15 Et complebo indignationem meam in pariete et in his, qui leverunt eum calce,dicamque vobis: Non est paries, et non sunt qui leverunt eum;	15 And I will fulfill my indignation against the wall, and against those who cover it without mixing the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and those who covered it are no more:
16 prophetaeIsrael, qui prophetant ad Ierusalem et vident ei visionem pacis, et non est pax,ait Dominus Deus.	16 the prophets of Israel, who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord God.
17 Et tu, fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui, quaeprophetant de corde suo, et vaticinare super eas	17 And as for you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy from their own heart. And prophesy about them,
18 et dic: Haec dicit DominusDeus: Vae, quae consuunt fascias pro omni articulo manus et faciunt velamina procapite omnis staturae ad capiendas animas! Numquid capietis animas de populo meoet vivificabitis animas vobis?	18 and say: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to those who sew together little pillows under every forearm, and who make little cushions for the heads of every stage of life, in order to capture souls. And when they have seized the souls of my people, they became the life of their souls.
19 Et violastis me ad populum meum pro pugillohordei et fragmento panis, ut interficeretis animas, quae mori non deberent, etvivificastis animas, quae non deberent vivere, mentientes populo meo credentimendaciis.	19 And they violated me among my people, for the sake of a handful of barley and a fragment of bread, so that they would kill the souls that should not die, and enliven the souls that should not live, lying to my people who believe in falsehoods.
20 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad fascias vestras, quibus voscapitis animas quasi volatilia, et disrumpam eas de brachiis vestris; etdimittam animas, quas vos cepistis, animas quasi volatilia,	20 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your little pillows, with which you catch flying souls. And I will tear them away from your arms. And I will release the souls that you are capturing, the souls that should fly.
21 et disrumpamvelamina vestra et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra, neque erunt ultra inmanibus vestris ad praedandum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.	21 And I will tear away your little cushions. And I will free my people from your hand. And they shall no longer be a prey in your hands. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
22 Pro eo quod maerere fecistis cor iusti mendaciter, quem ego non contristavi,et confortastis manus impii, ut non reverteretur a via sua mala et viveret,	22 For by deception you have caused the heart of the just to grieve, whom I would not sadden. And I have strengthened the hands of the impious, so that he would not be turned back from his evil way and live.
23 propterea vana non videbitis et divinationes non divinabitis amplius, et eruampopulum meum de manu vestra, et scietis quia ego Dominus ”.	23 Therefore, you shall not see emptiness, and you shall not divine divinations, any more. And I will rescue my people from your hand. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
