Ezekiel 13:17-23

“As for you, son of man, prophesy against the women of your people, who are witches masquerading as prophets. For they prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them and say, ‘Hear what Lord YAHWEH says to you: You women are doomed who sew magic bands on their wrists and make veils of varying sizes for their heads in order to ensnare the lives of people, young and old. Do you think you can get away with entrapping the lives of my people and still preserve your own lives? You have dishonored my name among my people for a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. You put to death people who should not have died and kept alive people who should not have lived, because you lied to my people, and they listened to your lies! “ ‘Therefore I, Lord YAHWEH, say to you: I am against your wristbands with which you ensnare people’s souls. I will tear them from your arms! And I will let your victims go free, those whom you hunt down like birds. I will rip off your scarves and deliver my people from your hands. They will no longer be trapped by your power, and then you will know for sure that I am YAHWEH. By your lies you have made righteous people greatly discouraged (although I have not discouraged them). And by your lies you have encouraged the wicked not to repent from their wicked ways and save their lives. Therefore you will no longer conjure up false visions or practice witchcraft. I will rescue my people from your deceptive power. And then you will know without a doubt that I am YAHWEH.’ ”
