Tower of Two-Rivers

Hebrew נבלה from Strong's #5034 נבל to fade, wither away, become stupid.

The word tower is a prophetic reference to political power (Compare Song 4:4, 7:5 and Isa. 9:6). The white-washed mud bricks made of hay and stubble (1 Cor. 3:12) were exchanged for stone and mortar. Yahweh tells Ezekiel to make a statement to this effect by inscribing a picture of Jerusalem on a chunk of white brick:

“And you, Son of Man, take to-yourself a white-brick, and you have set herself to the faces of yourself, and have graven upon her a city – Jerusalem” Ezekiel 4:1 literal

“who are provoking me to anger, To My faces continually, Sacrificing in the Enclosures, and making perfume on the white-bricks” Isa. 65:3 literal

The whole city is white-washed in hypocrisy.
