Exegesis
The noun phrase benot ammekha {בְּנ֣וֹת עַמְּךָ֔ | bə-nōṯ ʿam-me-kā} ‘the daughters of your people’ is modified by the relative participle hamitnabbe'ot {הַמִּֽתְנַבְּא֖וֹת | ham-mit-nab-bə-ʾōṯ} ‘who prophesy’, indicating an ongoing self-initiated activity.
In context — Ezekiel 13:17
And you, son of man , set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy from their own heart ; and prophesy against them.
