Ezekiel 13:15Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;
The setting
Babylon, ~592 BC. Jewish exiles desperately want good news. False prophets sell them lies about quick return to Jerusalem while the real city burns...
The emotion here: furious at deception that's destroying His people
The original word
tuwach (תּוּחַ) — to smear or plaster over, hiding what's underneath
Why it matters
The 'whitewash' was literal — covering cracked walls to hide structural damage
Read with care
What most readers miss in Ezekiel 13:15
