Trumps and his
followers, "MUST" read between the lines!
Your turn is coming!
10
"'Because they
lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and
because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash,
11
therefore tell those
who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall.
Rain will come in
torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will
burst forth.
12
When the wall
collapses, will people not ask you,
"Where is the
whitewash you covered it with?"
13
"'Therefore
this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
In my wrath I will
unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will
fall with destructive fury.
14
I will tear down the
wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that
its foundation will be laid bare.
When it falls, you
will be destroyed in it;
and you will know
that I am the LORD.
15
So I will pour out
my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash.
I will say to you,
"The wall is
gone and so are those who whitewashed it,
16
Those prophets of
Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her
when there was no
peace, declares the Sovereign LORD."'
The same as,
"White-washed wall"
is a very literal translation of the
underlying Greek. However, the idea behind this term is that of "a dirty wall which has been made to look clean". When
applied to people, as is the case in this verse, it means
"a person who
appears to look good but isn't".
