Joe: Alright, so what do we got here? Ezekiel 13?

Bible Expert: Right, so Ezekiel 13 starts with a warning to the false prophets of Israel who have been leading the people astray.

Joe: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second, what do you mean "leading the people astray"?

Bible Expert: Well, the false prophets were telling the people lies, claiming that God had commanded them to do certain things when in reality he had not.

Joe: That's pretty messed up.

Jamie: Hey Joe, I just Googled it, and it looks like these false prophets were convincing the people to stay in their own homes and not flee their cities, even though God had commanded them to flee.

Joe: That's crazy!

Bible Expert: Yeah, so God is really angry with these false prophets and tells them that they will be punished for their lies. He even calls them out by name and tells them that they will be killed.

Joe: Wow, that's harsh.

Bible Expert: Yeah, but it's important to remember that God is a just God and he will not tolerate lies.

Joe: Alright, so what else happens in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, God goes on to say that he will destroy their false prophecies and that they will be held accountable for the lives they have misled. He also promises that he will send a new and true prophet to speak to the people of Israel.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty amazing.

Bible Expert: Yeah, it is. And that's basically the gist of Ezekiel 13.

Joe: Alright, well thank you for the summary, that was pretty insightful.
