Ezekiel 13:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Now, son of man, you must warn the women among your people who use their own ideas to prophesy. Tell them my message to warn them. ¹⁸ Say, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: Terrible trouble will come to those women who make pieces of cloth which they say have magic power. People tie them around their arms and their heads. Those women want to have power over people's lives. They think they can have power over other people's lives but they themselves will be safe. ¹⁹ You have made people give you a little bit of barley or bread to eat. That is how they pay you to insult my name! You tell lies to my people, and they listen to you! As a result, you cause people to die who do not deserve to die. And people who do not deserve to live continue to live.
