Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
These veils were the tools of their deception, covering their heads or those who came seeking counsel. God strips them away because His people were so bewitched by these follies that the masks had to be torn off. But mark this: when He says 'My people,' He means the elect alone, not all who claim Abraham as their father. Many perish; only a remnant is saved by His grace.
AI summary
The devil works through prophetesses no less than through male false prophets, and their sex neither excuses their sin nor shields them from God's rebuke. These women prophesy from their own hearts, saying whatever comes uppermost, and they find eager listeners among people who prefer pleasing lies to hard truths. When sinners grow bold, reprovers must be bold as well.

Commenting on Ezekiel 13:17-23
These prophetesses will be silenced and exposed so thoroughly that the people abandon their vain visions and lying divinations entirely. Without gain, they will lose all desire to make false claims. God delivers His people from their grip, and in that deliverance, He is known for who He truly is.
