Ezekiel 13:19
"and say, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves?"
Key Reflection
In Ezekiel 13:19, the Lord GOD is addressing false prophets, specifically focusing on women who engaged in divination and sorcery. The imagery of sewing magic bands on elbows and making veils for heads to hunt souls would have been understood by the original audience as practices used to deceive and manipulate people through supernatural means. By accusing these women of hunting the souls of His people, the Lord is condemning their false teachings and unethical practices that aimed to control and exploit others' spiritual lives for personal gain.
