Read Ezekiel 13 to find out for yourself the consequences of being a false prophet. God continues to plow down every false act these wicked men had been performing. But consider these statements He makes in regard to His people, His compassion toward the wicked, and His intention toward them all.
First, His love and concern toward His children: "You disheartened the righteous with falsehood when I did not cause him grief..." v. 22
Second, His desire for the wicked: "[you] have encouraged the wicked not to turn from his wicked way and preserve his life" v. 22
Lastly, His promise and protection: "I will deliver My people out of your hand. Thus you will know that I am the LORD." v. 23
I would say in the words of a child, "Sin makes God sad!" But He will have the final Word: "I AM THE LORD!" Let us be encouraged that God hates when we are disheartened, He wants the wicked to turn and be preserved, and He will deliver us from the enemy!
