Ezekiel 13:20
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
KJV
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego ad pulvillos vestros, quibus vos capitis animas volantes : et dirumpam eos de brachiis vestris, et dimittam animas quas vos capitis, animas ad volandum.
Vulgate
διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τὰ προσκεφάλαια ὑμῶν, ἐφ’ ἃ ὑμεῖς συστρέφετε ἐκεῖ ψυχάς, καὶ διαρρήξω αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τῶν βραχιόνων ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ τὰς ψυχὰς ἃς ὑμεῖς ἐκστρέφετε τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς διασκορπισμόν,
LXX
Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
