Ezekiel 13:21

13:21 I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power; ¹  they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 13:20

13:20 “‘Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Take note ²  that I am against your wristbands with which you entrap people’s lives ³  like birds. I will tear them from your arms and will release the people’s lives, which you hunt like birds.

[13:21]  ¹ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[13:20]  ² tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[13:20]  ³ tn Heb “human lives” or “souls.”
