Ezekiel 13:18 in Context — Ezekiel 13

16 Os profetas de Israel que profetizam sobre Jerusalém, e veem para ela visão de paz, sem que haja paz,diz o Senhor DEUS.

17 E tu, filho do homem, dirige teu rosto às filhas de teu povo que profetizam de seu [próprio] coração, e profetiza contra elas,

18 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ai daquelas que costuram almofadas para todos os pulsos, e fazem lenços sobre as cabeças de todos os tamanhos para caçarem as almas! Por acaso caçareis as almas de meu povo, e guardareis a vossas [próprias] almas em vida?

19 Vós me profanastes para com meu povo por punhados de cevada e por pedaços de pão, matando as almas que não deviam morrer, e mantendo em vida as almas que não deviam viver, mentindo a meu povo, que escuta a mentira.

20 Por isso assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu contra vossas almofadas, com que caçais as almas como [se fossem] pássaros; eu as arrancarei de vossos braços, e soltarei as almas, as almas que caçais como pássaros.
