20 Therefore, the Lord God proclaims: I’m against the bands that you use to trap human lives. I will tear them from your arms, and I will set free the lives that you’ve trapped like birds.
21 I will tear off your veils and snatch my people out of your clutches. They will be prey in your clutches no longer. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
22 You hurt the righteous with slander—I didn’t wound them!—and you strengthened the hands of the wicked so that they survived without changing their evil ways!
23 Therefore, you will no longer see empty visions or perform divinations. I will rescue my people from your clutches, and you will know that I am the Lord.
