Ezekiel 13:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:21

Your kerchiefs also will one tear
From their heads; discover their tricks, and expose them to the contempt of the people, and destroy both them and their works: and deliver my people out of your hand;
from being hunted, ensnared, and deceived by them: and they shall be no more in your land to be hunted;
but should either flee into Egypt, and other countries, for shelter, or be carried captive into Babylon: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord;
see ( Ezekiel 13:9 Ezekiel 13:14 ) .

Ezekiel 13:21 In-Context

19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death souls who should not die and keeping alive souls who should not live, by your lying to my people, who listen to lies.

20 "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the souls whom you hunt go free, the souls like birds.

21 Your veils also I will tear off and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

22 Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not turn from his evil way to save his life,

23 therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. And you shall know that I am the LORD."
