In context

9And I will stretch forth my hand against the prophets that see false visions, and those that utter vanities: they shall not partake of the instruction of my people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

10Because they have caused my people to err, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and they plaster it—it shall fall.

— Ezekiel 13:11 —

12And lo! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Where is your plaster wherewith ye plastered it?

13Therefore thus saith the Lord; I will even cause to burst forth a sweeping blast with fury, and there shall be a flooding rain in my wrath; and in my fury I will bring on great stones for complete destruction.
