With the second installment of my project to make inspirational images from random Bible verses, the random number generator threw me a bit of a curveball:
“Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear them from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds.”It is from the coda to Ezekiel 13, which is for the most part God's inveighing against false prophets; towards the end, he also condemns market-stall magic and the period equivalent of the telephone psychics.
– Ezekiel 13:20
Not surprisingly, it is not a widely illustrated Bible verse. I found one online artist riffing on it, but not at all in the "inspirational image" genre.
