"Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar]; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;" — Ezekiel 13:15 (ASV)
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall Or upon the city, as the Targum; pour out all his indignation, and inflict just punishment upon the city of Jerusalem and its inhabitants:
and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar] ; the false prophets: so the Targum, ``and the false prophets that prophesy in it false prophecies:''
and will say unto you, the wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it ; neither the city of Jerusalem, nor the prophets that prophesied of its safety; nor their false prophecies; nor the vain hopes of the people they fed them with: so the Targum, ``there is no city, nor false prophets.''
