Ezekiel 13:6
"You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day."
Key Reflection
In Ezekiel 13:6, the prophet criticizes false prophets who failed to fulfill their prophetic roles by not fortifying the walls and gaps of Jerusalem—metaphors for addressing the spiritual and social weaknesses of Israel. This failure left the people defenseless against coming judgment, as if they had abandoned their positions in the battle at a critical moment when divine protection was needed most.
