Ezekiel 13:17-23
17And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the daughtersH1323 of thy peopleH5971, that prophesyH5012 out of their own heartH3820; and prophesyH5012 thou against them, 18and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: WoeH1945 to the women that sewH8609 pillows upon all elbows, and makeH6213 kerchiefs for the headH7218 of personsH5315 of every statureH6967 to huntH6679 soulsH5315! Will ye huntH6679 the soulsH5315 of my peopleH5971, and save soulsH5315 aliveH2421 for yourselves? 19And ye have profanedH2490 me among my peopleH5971 for handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and for piecesH6595 of breadH3899, to slay the soulsH5315 that should not dieH4191, and to save the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that should not liveH2421, by your lyingH3577 to my peopleH5971 that hearken unto liesH3577.
20Wherefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there huntH6679 the soulsH5315 to make them fly, and I will tearH7167 them from your armsH2220; and I will let the soulsH5315 goH7971, even the soulsH5315 that ye huntH6679 to make them fly. 21Your kerchiefs also will I tearH7167, and deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027, and they shall beH1961 no more in your handH3027 to beH1961 hunted; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah. 22Because with liesH8267 ye have grieved the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662, whom I have not madeH2388 sad, and strengthenedH2388 the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563, that he should not returnH7725 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, and be saved aliveH2421; 23ThereforeH3651 ye shall no more seeH2372 false visions, nor divineH7080 divinations: and I will deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah.
