Ezekiel 13:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ “‘So this is what the Lord God says: I am against your magic ·charms [bands], by which you ·trap [ensnare; hunt] ·people [souls] as if they were birds. I will tear ·those charms [^Lthem] off your arms, and I will free those ·people [souls] you have ·trapped [ensnare; hunt] like birds. ²¹ I will also tear off your ·veils [or headbands] and save my people from your hands. They will no longer be ·trapped by your power [^Lprey in your hand]. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ²² By your lies you have ·caused those who did right to be sad [disheartened the righteous], when I did not ·make them sad [grieve them]. And you have encouraged the wicked not to ·stop being wicked [turn from their wicked ways], which would have saved their lives.
