elite through the «right» prophet).

      14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with mud, and I will throw it to the ground, and its foundation will be opened, and it will fall, and you will perish with it; and you will know that I am the LORD. (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).

      15 And I will exhaust my rage on the wall and on those who smear it with dirt, and I will tell you: there is no wall, and there are no those who smeared it, (The utterance of the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).

      16 The prophets of Israel, who prophesied to Jerusalem and proclaimed visions of peace to it, while there is no peace, says the LORD God. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).

      17 But you, son of man, turn your face to the daughters of your people, prophesying from your own heart, and prophesy against them, (The prophecy meant supposedly the inevitability of fulfillment in the future, in fact it was a simple suggestion of what is beneficial to the Jewish priesthood).

      18 And say, Thus saith the LORD God: Woe to them that sew magic pouches under their armpits, and make veils for the head of every height, to catch souls! Will you really save your souls by catching the souls of My people? (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).

      19 And dishonor me before my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing souls who should not die, and giving life to souls who should not live, deceiving the people who listen to lies. (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).

      20 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: Behold, I am on your magic bags, with which you catch souls there, so that they may come, and I will tear them out from under your muscles, and I will set free the souls that you catch, so that they may come to you. (Sorcerers-sorcerers wore some kind of magic pouches under their muscles).

      21 And I will tear your veils, and I will deliver my people from your hands, and they will no longer be a prey in your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD. (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).

      22 Because by lying you grieve the heart of the righteous, which I did not want to grieve, and you support the hands of the wrongdoer, so that he does not turn from his evil way and does not save his life – (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).

      23 For this you will no longer have empty visions, and you will no longer foresee; and I will deliver my people from your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).

      Chapter 14

      1 And some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down before me. (Several elders came to Ezekiel).

      2 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

      3 son of man! These people have allowed their idols into their hearts and have set the temptation of their wickedness before their face: can I answer them? (Secret Jewish priests «broadcast» through their prophet against the elders of Israel).

      4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the LORD God: If any man of the house of Israel puts his idols in his heart, and sets the temptation of his wickedness before his face, and comes to the prophet, can I, the LORD, with his many idols, give him an answer? (It is advantageous for the Jewish priesthood to remove the elders from power and lead the Israelites themselves).

      5 Let the house of Israel understand in its heart that they have all become strangers to me through their idols. (Other people’s idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).

      6 Therefore tell the house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD God: Turn and turn away from your idols, and turn away your face from all your abominations. (Other people’s idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).

      7 For if any one of the house of Israel and of the strangers who dwell with Israel turns away from me, and lets his idols into his heart, and sets the temptation of his wickedness before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire of me through him, then I, the LORD, will I give him an answer from myself? (Other people’s idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).

      8 I will turn my face against that man, and I will break him into a sign and a parable, and I will destroy him from among my people, and you will know that I am the LORD. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      9 But if the prophet allows himself to be deceived and speaks the word as I, the LORD, would teach this prophet, then I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from my people Israel. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      10 And they will bear the guilt of their iniquity: what is the fault of the questioner, so will be the fault of the prophet, (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      11 That the house of Israel may no longer turn away from me, and that they may no longer defile themselves with all their iniquities, but that they may be my people, and I will be their God, says the LORD God. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      12 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

      13 Son of man! if any land had sinned against Me, treacherously retreating from Me, and I stretched out My hand on it, and destroyed the grain support in it, and sent famine on it, and began to destroy people and cattle on it; (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      14 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, had been found in her, they would have saved only their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord God. (In the book of Ezekiel, Job is mentioned along with Noah and Daniel. Daniel (the judge of God, that is, who reveals His will on behalf of God) is the fourth of the great prophets; according to some, he was a descendant of David, or at least descended from a royal family. He was at the court of the Babylonian kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar).

      15 Or if I had sent fierce beasts to this land, who would have orphaned it, and it became empty and impassable because of the beasts: (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      16 Then these three men in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would not have saved either sons or daughters, but they, only they, would have been saved, and the land would have become a desert. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      17 Or if I had brought a sword to that land and said, «Sword, pass through the land!» and began to destroy people and cattle on it, (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      18 These three men in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would not have saved either sons or daughters, but they would only have been saved. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      19 Or if I had sent a pestilence to that land and poured out my fury on it in bloodshed to destroy people and cattle on it: (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      20 Then Noah, Daniel, and Job in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would have saved neither sons nor daughters; by their righteousness they would have saved only their own souls. (In the book of Ezekiel, Job is mentioned along with Noah and Daniel).

      21 For thus saith the LORD God: If I also send my four grievous plagues: the sword, and famine, and fierce beasts, and pestilence to Jerusalem to destroy people and cattle in it, (the Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      22 And then there will remain in it a remnant, sons and daughters, who will be brought out from there; behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their conduct and their deeds, and you will be comforted for the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, for all that I have brought upon it. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      23 They will comfort you when you see their conduct and their deeds; and you will know
