Evil » Who strengthens the hands of evildoers
Say this about the prophets of Samaria: 'I saw something disgusting. The prophets of Samaria prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.' Say this about the prophets of Jerusalem: 'I see something horrible. The prophets of Jerusalem commit adultery and live a lie. They support those who do evil so that no one turns back from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me, and those who live in Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.'
Son of man, look at the women among your people who make up prophesies, and prophesy against them. Tell them, 'This is what the Lord Jehovah says: How horrible it will be for women who sew magic charms for people's wrists and make magic veils of every size for people's heads. You want to trap people. You want to control the lives of my people for your own profit. You dishonor me in front of my people for a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. You kill people who should not die. You spare the lives of people who should not live. You lie to my people who are willing to listen.' read more.
This is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'I am against the magic charms that you use to trap people like birds. I will tear them from your arms and free the people that you have trapped. I will tear off your magic veils and rescue my people from your power so that they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I am Jehovah. You have discouraged righteous people with your lies, even though I had not brought them any grief. You encouraged wicked people not to turn from their wicked ways to save their lives.

The lips of an immoral woman drip as a honeycomb. Her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword. Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold of the grave.
