Ezekiel 13:17-23
17“Now you, sonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 the daughtersH1323 of your peopleH5971 who are 1talkingH5012 likeH5012 prophetsH5012 2from their own 3imaginationH3820. ProphesyH5012 againstH5921 them 18and sayH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “WoeH1945 to the women who sewH8609 magic bandsH3704 on 4allH3605 wristsH3027H679 and makeH6213 veilsH4555 for the headsH7218 of persons of everyH3605 statureH6967 to 5captureH6679 soulsH5315! Will you captureH6679 the soulsH5315 of My peopleH5971, but keepH2421 the soulsH5315 of others aliveH2421 for yourselves? 196For handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and piecesH6604 of breadH3899, you have profanedH2490 Me to My peopleH5971, to putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 7someH5315 whoH834 should not dieH4191, and to 8keepH2421 9othersH5315 aliveH2421 whoH834 should not liveH2421, by your lyingH3576 to My peopleH5971 who listenH8085 to liesH3577.”’”
20ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am againstH413 your magic bandsH3704 by whichH834 you captureH6679 soulsH5315 thereH8033 as 10birdsH6524, and I will tearH7167 them from your armsH2220; and I will letH7971 11them goH7971, those soulsH5315 whomH834 you captureH6679 as 12birdsH6524. 21I will also tearH7167 off your veilsH4555 and 13saveH5337 My peopleH5971 from your handsH3027, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be in your handsH3027 as preyH4686; and you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 22BecauseH3282 you 14disheartenedH3512H3820 the righteousH6662 with falsehoodH8267 when I did not causeH3510 him painH3510, but you have 1516encouragedH2388H3027 the wickedH7563 not to 17turnH7725 from his wickedH7451 wayH1870 to keepH2421 him aliveH2421, 23thereforeH3651 you women will noH3808 longerH5750 seeH2372 18deceitfulH7723 visionsH2372 or practiceH7080 divinationH7081, and I will 19saveH5337 My peopleH5971 from your handsH3027. So you will 20knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
