"Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!" (Ezek. 13:3)—Moffatt suggests the translation: "Woe to the fools of prophets who only prophesy from what they feel, without a real vision!" The Septuagint Version has: "Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all."

"They have made others to hope that they would confirm the word" (Ezek. 13:6) —A more literal rendering of the original would be: "They hoped that the word would be confirmed." Smith renders: "Yet they expect the word to be fulfilled."
