Ezekiel 13:9

Context
13:9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council 1  of my people, nor be written in the registry 2  of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the sovereign Lord.

1 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 Ps 64:3; 111:1).

2 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).
