| Ezekiel 13:19
| And they violated me among my people, for a handful of barley, and a piece of bread, to kill souls which should not die, and to save souls alive which should not live, telling lies to my people that believe lies.
| Violated me. That is, dishonoured and discredited me. (Challoner) --- Protestants, "and will ye pollute?" etc. (Haydock) --- They employed the name of God to give credit to their lies, for the smallest advantage. --- Souls, etc. That is, to sentence souls to death, which are not to die: and to promise life to them who are not to live. (Challoner) --- They contradicted Jeremias, who exhorted the people to surrender. (Calmet)
