Ezekiel 13:19-21
New English Translation

19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. You have put to death people[a] who should not die and kept alive those who should not live by your lies to my people, who listen to lies!

20 “‘Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Take note[b] that I am against your wristbands with which you entrap people’s lives[c] like birds. I will tear them from your arms and will release the people’s lives, which you hunt like birds. 21 I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power;[d] they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
