1 AND the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the
aprophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them
that prophesy out of their own
heartsa, Hear ye the word of the
LORD;
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the
afoolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have
seen nothing!

2a that phrophesy out of their own
hearts False prophets prophesy not the word of God but the words
of men. Of such words of men are those which the desires of the hearts of men
would have God say and do as they 'feel' upon their own contrivance what
they's have God be and do. Even in our own imaginations of what God would or
would not have of us, we are prone to supose that which suits ourselves rather
than that which God in truth has said or directed. In this we need take care
that in our own worship of God that we do not make him after our own contrived
image of what we would have him be. We need to take care to come to a true
understanding of just what he is and worship him in true and not according to
the dictates of our own mind and heart's pretence of what we would have him
be. This is what has given rise to so many sects and divisions, this 'self'
divination of God to be what a man, any man, so inovates him to be.
