Study Note
The accusation against false prophets — 'because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way' — identifies the dual social damage of false prophecy: discouraging the faithful and emboldening the corrupt. The specific targeting of 'the heart of the righteous' (lev tsaddiq) shows that the damage is not merely institutional but psychological — false teaching causes genuine moral suffering in those whose conscience is responsive to God's reality. Ezekiel 13 as a whole uses the metaphor of prophets as plasterers who cover structural cracks with whitewash, a metaphor for theology that conceals rather than confronts crisis. The verse remains a pointed diagnostic for the pastoral and social consequences of false teaching in communities of faith.
