Ezekiel 13:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ You, son of man, are to set your face against the daughters of your people, who are prophesying ecstatically from their own hearts. You are to prophesy against them. ¹⁸ You are to say that this is what the Lord God says.

Woe to those women who sew magic bands for all their^[a] wrists and who make veils of every size for people’s heads in order to trap souls.^[b] Will you women trap the souls of my people, but preserve your own souls? ¹⁹ You women profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread, killing people^[c] who should not die and keeping people alive who should not live. You do this by your lying to my people—those who listen to lies.
