Definitions for Ezekiel 13:3
Barnes's Ezekiel 13:3 Bible Commentary
That follow ... nothing - Better in the margin. A true prophet (like Ezekiel) spoke "the word of the Lord," and declared what he had seen "in the visions of God." These pretenders are stigmatized in scorn "prophets out of their own hearts," "seers of what they have not seen."
Wesley's Ezekiel 13:3 Bible Commentary
13:3 Foolish prophets - Foolish prophets are not of God's sending: for whom he sends, he either finds fit, or makes fit. Where he gives warrant, he gives wisdom. Their own spirit - Not the spirit of God.Seen nothing - God hath shewed them no vision.
