Ezekiel 13:1-7: in context

God turns Ezekiel against the false prophets of Israel, those who prophesy out of their own imagination and have seen nothing. Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, God says. They are like foxes among ruins. They have not gone up into the breaches or repaired the wall so the people could stand in the day of battle. They see false visions and lying divinations, saying the LORD declares, when the LORD has not sent them, making people hope their empty word will come true.

Two charges expose the false prophets. First, they speak from their own hearts and say it is from God: they say, the LORD declares, but I have not spoken. That is the essence of false prophecy, dressing up your own opinions and imaginations in God's name, claiming divine authority for what God never said. It is a grave thing, and not only the professional prophet's temptation; anyone who says God says when God has not said it, who puts their own preference into the mouth of the Almighty, is doing what these prophets did. Second, and this is the piercing image, they have not gone up into the breaches or built up the wall. When the city's defenses were broken and the enemy about to pour through, the true prophet's job was to stand in the gap, to intercede and to call the people back so they could withstand the day of battle. These men did the opposite; they patched over the danger with false reassurances instead of standing in the breach. False comfort where there should have been repair. The measure of a true word from God is not whether it soothes but whether it actually stands in the gap and builds the wall, whether it strengthens people for the real battle rather than lulling them before it.

Do I ever put my own opinions into God's mouth, saying the LORD says when he has not, and do the words I speak stand in the gap and build the wall, or only soothe people before a battle they are unready for?
