Ezekiel 13:17-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 As for you, mortal, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imaginations; prophesy against them(A) 18 and say: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the women who sew bands on all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every height, in the hunt for lives! Will you hunt down lives among my people and maintain your own lives?(B) 19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death those who should not die and keeping alive those who should not live, by your lies to my people, who listen to lies.(C)
20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: I am against your bands with which you hunt lives;[a] I will tear them from your arms and let the lives go free, the lives that you hunt down like birds. 21 I will tear off your veils and save my people from your hands; they shall no longer be prey in your hands, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 22 Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not disheartened them, and you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their wicked way and save their lives,(D) 23 therefore you shall no longer see false visions or practice divination; I will save my people from your hand. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(E)

Ezekiel 13:17-23
New American Standard Bible
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.”’”
20 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am against your magic bands by which you capture souls there as [e]birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let [f]them go, those souls whom you capture as [g]birds. 21 I will also tear off your veils and (F)save My people from your hands, and they will no longer be in your hands as prey; and you will know that I am the Lord. 22 Because you (G)disheartened the righteous with falsehood when I did not cause him pain, but you have [h](H)encouraged the wicked not to (I)turn from his wicked way to keep him alive, 23 therefore you women will no longer see (J)deceitful visions or practice divination, and I will (K)save My people from your hands. So you will (L)know that I am the Lord.”
