Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? / And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? / 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.»

This hurts most, this... that, after all, we are paid the worth of our work, perhaps.»
