Have daubed them; flattered their oppressing bloody princes in their ways of sin and violence.
With untempered mortar; with promises and encouragements that, like ill tempered mortar, will deceive them, though all seems for the present smooth and safe.

God never spake to those prophets, and what by his own prophets he spake was of quite another tenure, it was evil, not good.
