Ezekiel 13:6

They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

Vident vana, et divinant mendacium, dicentes : Ait Dominus, cum Dominus non miserit eos : et perseveraverunt confirmare sermonem.

Vulgate

βλέποντες ψευδῆ, μαντευόμενοι μάταια, οἱ λέγοντες Λέγει Κύριος, καὶ Κύριος οὐκ ἀπέσταλκεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἤρξαντο τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι λόγον.

LXX

They have seen falsehood and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith; but Jehovah hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
