Ezekiel 13:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ When you degrade me to my people for handfuls of barley and bread crumbs, you mislead my gullible people, and you bring about the death of those who shouldn’t die and keep alive those who shouldn’t live.

²⁰ Therefore, the Lord God proclaims: I’m against the bands that you use to trap human lives.^[a] I will tear them from your arms, and I will set free the lives that you’ve trapped like birds. ²¹ I will tear off your veils and snatch my people out of your clutches. They will be prey in your clutches no longer. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
