Ezekiel 13:18-20

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁸ and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Woe to the women who sew magic bands on ^[a]all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature to ^(A)hunt down ^[b]souls! Will you hunt down My people’s souls, but preserve your own souls? ^19 (B)For handfuls of barley and fragments of bread, you have profaned Me to My people to put to death souls who should not die and to ^(C)keep other souls alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies.”’”

²⁰ Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am against your magic bands by which you hunt souls there as ^[c]birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let their souls go, the very souls whom you hunt as ^[d]birds.
