17 “And now, Son of Man, turn toward and oppose[a] the women[b] of your people who prophesy according to their own wrong inclinations[c] and prophesy against them. 18 Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says, “How terrible it will be for those women who sew magical bracelets on all their wrists and make one-size-fits all headbands,[d] in order to entrap their souls. Will you hunt for the souls of my people and remain alive?
