Ezekiel 13:9
The Scripture
(9) And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
In this chapter the people of Israel are warned against eating the bones of the dead, a practice that leads to spiritual death and famine. They are described as eating the bone of the man and the bone of the woman, which symbolizes a loss of righteousness and a turning away from God. The chapter teaches that such actions bring disaster and that true life comes from obedience to God.
