Ezekiel 13:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ They charge my people a few handfuls of barley and a couple pieces of bread, and then give messages that are insulting to me. They use lies to sentence the innocent to death and to help the guilty go free. And my people believe them!

²⁰ I hate the magic charms they use to trick people into believing their lies. I will rip those charms from their wrists and set free the people they have trapped like birds.^{[a] 21} I will tear the scarves from their heads and rescue my people from their power once and for all. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
