Ezekiel 13:18-22 And you have said:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Woe to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature--to hunt souls, The souls do you hunt of My people? And the souls you have do you keep alive?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And you have said:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Woe to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature--to hunt souls, The souls do you hunt of My people? And the souls you have do you keep alive? ¹⁹ Yea, you pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people--hearkening to lies." ²⁰ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which you are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that you are hunting, The souls of the flourishing." ²¹ And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And you have known that I [am] Yahweh." ²² Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive,
