Set your face against daughters who prophesy from their heart§1

1 Set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy from their own hearts. The soul has a face that must be braced against lying oracles.

Latin · §1

Obfirma faciem tuam contra filias populi prophetantes de corde suo. Est alia facies praeter corporis — facies animae quae adversus mendacium firmatur.

Blotted from Israel’s writing§2

2Lying prophetesses shall not be in the writing of the house of Israel; they are blotted from the book of the living. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

Non erunt in scriptura domus Israel — exalegentur de libro viventium. Gloria Christo. Amen.
