Verse 18

King James Version:

: And say, Thus saith the Lord God;

: Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes,

:: and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls!

: Will ye hunt the souls of my people,

:: and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?{{bibleref2|Ezekiel|13:18|KJV}}

  • "Kerchief" (Hebrew: מספחות mispahot; Vulgate: cervicalia): a long veil for the head that hangs down covering the whole body (also in {{bibleref2|Ezekiel|13:21}}).{{sfn|Bromiley|1995|p=967}}{{sfn|Brown|Briggs|Driver|1994|ps={{sp}}"מִסְפָּחוֹת"}}{{sfn|Gesenius|1979|ps={{sp}}"מִסְפָּחוֹת"}}

Verse 19

: And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread,

:: to slay the souls that should not die,

:: and to save the souls alive that should not live,

: by your lying to my people that hear your lies?{{bibleref2|Ezekiel|13:19|KJV}}
