19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of [a]barley, and for pieces of bread to slay the souls of them that should not die, and [b]to give life to the souls that should not live, in lying to my people, that hear your lies?

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will have to do with your pillows, wherewith ye hunt the [c]souls to make them to flee, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them to flee.

21 Your veils also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hands to be hunted, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
