The verbs in these passages are both in the future passive tense. The transtations I checked transtate these something like "will rise" or "will arise" instead of "will be raised.
What would be the reason for this.
If it were translated in the passive tense, it could indicate that God's hand causes nation to rise against nation and false prophets to arise.
