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 dishonor me in front of my people in order to get a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. You kill people who don't deserve to die, and you keep people alive who don't deserve to live. So you tell lies to my people, and they believe you."

20 Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "I hate the wristbands that you use in your attempt to control life and death. I will rip them off your arms and set free the people that you were controlling.

21 I will rip off your scarves and let my people escape from your power once and for all. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

22 "By your lies you discourage good people, whom I do not wish to hurt. You prevent evil people from giving up evil and saving their lives.

23 So now your false visions and misleading predictions are over. I am rescuing my people from your power, so that you will know that I am the Lord."
