17 “Now you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who are (A)talking like prophets (B)from their own [a]imagination. Prophesy against them 18 and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Woe to the women who sew magic bands on [b]all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature to (C)capture souls! Will you capture the souls of My people, but keep the souls of others alive for yourselves? 19 (D)For handfuls of barley and pieces of bread, you have profaned Me to My people, to put to death [c]some who should not die, and to (E)keep [d]others alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies.”’”
