Ezekiel 13:17-23
17“Now you, sonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 the daughtersH1323 of your peopleH5971 who are 1prophesyingH5012 2from their own 3inspirationH3820. ProphesyH5012 againstH5921 them 18and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “WoeH1945 to the women who sewH8609 magic bandsH3704 on 4allH3605 wristsH3027H679 and makeH6213 veilsH4555 for the headsH7218 of persons of everyH3605 statureH6967 to 5huntH6679 downH6679 6livesH5315! Will you huntH6679 downH6679 the 7livesH5315 of My peopleH5971, but preserveH2421 the 8livesH5315 of others for yourselves? 199For handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and fragmentsH6604 of breadH3899, you have profanedH2490 Me to My peopleH5971 to putH4191 to deathH4191 10someH5315 whoH834 should not dieH4191 and to 11keepH2421 12othersH5315 aliveH2421 whoH834 should not liveH2421, by your lyingH3576 to My peopleH5971 who listenH8085 to liesH3577.”’”
20ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am againstH413 your magic bandsH3704 by whichH834 you huntH6679 13livesH5315 thereH8033 as 14birdsH6524 and I will tearH7167 them from your armsH2220; and I will letH7971 15them goH7971, evenH853 those 16livesH5315 whomH834 you huntH6679 as 17birdsH6524. 21I will also tearH7167 off your veilsH4555 and 18deliverH5337 My peopleH5971 from your handsH3027, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be in your handsH3027 to be huntedH4686; and you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 22BecauseH3282 you 19disheartenedH3512 the righteousH6662 with falsehoodH8267 when I did not causeH3510 him griefH3510, but have 2021encouragedH2388H3027 the wickedH7563 not to 22turnH7725 from his wickedH7451 wayH1870 and preserveH2421 his lifeH2421, 23thereforeH3651, you women will noH3808 longerH5750 seeH7200 2324falseH7723 visionsH7723 or practiceH7080 divinationH7081, and I will 25deliverH5337 My peopleH5971 out of your handH3027. Thus you will 26knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
