Exegesis
The phrase yadi el {יָדִ֗י אֶל־ | yā-ḏî ʾel} ‘my hand against’ expresses divine opposition idiomatically.
In context — Ezekiel 13:9
And my hand shall be against the prophets who see vanity and the diviners of lies; they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD .
