Ezekiel 13:21-23
New English Translation
21 I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power;[a] they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 22 This is because you have disheartened the righteous person with lies (although I have not grieved him), and because you have encouraged the wicked person not to turn from his evil conduct and preserve his life. 23 Therefore you will no longer see false visions and practice divination. I will rescue my people from your power, and you[b] will know that I am the Lord.’”
