20Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the lives there like birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the lives go free—the ones you hunt like birds.

21I will tear off your magic bands, and I will deliver my people from your hand, and they will no longer be in your hand as prey; then you will know that I am Yahweh.

22Because you have disheartened the heart of the righteous with falsehood, though I had not caused him grief, and because you have strengthened the hands of the wicked so that he does not turn from his evil way to preserve his life,

23Therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination anymore, and I will deliver my people from your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
