19
And they have dishonoured me before my people for a handful of barley, and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls which should not die, and to save alive the souls which should not live, while ye speak to a people hearing vain speeches.
20
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against your pillows, whereby ye there confound souls, and I will tear them away from your arms, and will set at liberty their souls which ye pervert to scatter them.
21
And I will tear your kerchiefs, and will rescue my people out of your hands, and they shall no longer be in your hands to be confounded; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
22
Because ye have perverted the heart of the righteous, whereas I perverted him not, and in order to strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not at all turn from his evil way and live:
23
therefore ye shall not see false , and ye shall no more utter prophecies: but I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
