Ezekiel 13:9
New English Translation
9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council[a] of my people, nor be written in the registry[b] of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.

- Ezekiel 13:9 tn The Hebrew term may refer to the secret council of the Lord (Jer 23:18; Job 15:8), but here it more likely refers to a human council comprised of civic leaders (Gen 49:6; Jer 6:11; 15:17; Pss 64:3; 111:1).
- Ezekiel 13:9 tn The reference here is probably to a civil list (as in Ezra 2:16; Neh 7:64) rather than to a “book of life” (Exod 32:32; Isa 4:3; Ps 69:29; Dan 12:1). This registry may have been established at the making of David’s census (2 Sam 24:2, 9).
