This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am against your pillows - that is, against your lying ceremonial tricks by which ye cheat the people.
to make them fly - namely, into their snares, as fowlers disturb birds so as to be suddenly caught in the net spread for them. “Fly” is peculiarly appropriate as to those lofty spiritual flights to which they pretended to raise their dupes when they veiled their heads with kerchiefs and made them rest on luxurious arm-cushions (Eze 13:18).
let ... souls go - “Ye make them fly” in order to destroy them; “I will let them go” in order to save them (Psa 91:3; Pro 6:5; Hos 9:8).
