Ezekiel 13:18-22

18and say, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the women awho sew magic bands upon all wrists, and bmake veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in cthe hunt for souls! Will you hunt down souls belonging to my people and keep your own souls alive? 19You have profaned me among my people dfor handfuls of barley eand for pieces of bread, putting to death souls who should not die and keeping alive souls who should not live, by your lying to my people, who listen to lies.

20Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, fI am against gyour magic bands with which you hunt the souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the souls whom you hunt go free, the souls like birds. 21Your veils also I will tear off and hdeliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey, iand you shall know that I am the Lord. 22 jBecause you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and kyou have encouraged the wicked, that lhe should not turn from his evil way to save his life,
