Ezekiel 13:19-21
Revised Standard Version
19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death persons who should not die and keeping alive persons who should not live, by your lies to my people, who listen to lies.
20 “Wherefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the souls,[a] and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls that you hunt go free[b] like birds. 21 Your veils also I will tear off, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
