²⁰ ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against your magic charms by which you hunt souls there like ^[a]birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt like birds. ²¹ I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be as prey in your hand. ^(A)Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

²² “Because with ^(B)lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have ^(C)strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life. ²³ Therefore ^(D)you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
