Ezekiel 13:17-19

International Standard Version

A Rebuke to Israel’s Women

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? ¹⁹ You’ve profaned me among my people for a handful of barley and a morsel of bread. You’re causing people to die who shouldn’t have to die, and you’re causing people to live who shouldn’t survive, when you deceive my people who tend to listen to lies.”
