Ezekiel 14:1-14

1Then cameH935 certain of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 unto me, and satH3427 before me. 2And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 3SonH1121 of manH376, these menH376 have taken their idolsH1544 into their heartH3820, and putH5414 the stumblingblock of their iniquityH5771 before their faceH6440: should I be inquired of at all by them? 4ThereforeH3651 speakH1696 unto them, and sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the Lord Jehovah: Every manH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that taketh his idolsH1544 into his heartH3820, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquityH5771 before his faceH6440, and cometh to the prophetH5030; I Jehovah will answerH6030 him therein according to the multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544; 5that I may take the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 in their own heartH3820, because they are all estranged from me through their idolsH1544.

6ThereforeH3651 sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: ReturnH7725 ye, and turnH7725 yourselves from your idolsH1544; and turnH7725 awayH7725 your facesH6440 from all your abominationsH8441. 7For every oneH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangers that sojourn in IsraelH3478, that separateth himself from me, and taketh his idolsH1544 into his heartH3820, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquityH5771 before his faceH6440, and cometh to the prophetH5030 to inquire for himself of me; I Jehovah will answerH6030 him by myself: 8and I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against that manH376, and will makeH5414 him an astonishment, for a signH226 and a proverbH4912, and I will cutH3772 him off from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah. 9And if the prophetH5030 be deceived and speakH1696 a wordH1697, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophetH5030, and I will stretchH5186 out my handH3027 upon him, and will destroyH8045 him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 10And they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771: the iniquityH5771 of the prophetH5030 shall beH1961 even as the iniquityH5771 of him that seeketh unto him; 11that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 may go no more astrayH8582 from me, neither defileH2930 themselves any more with all their transgressionsH6588; but that they may beH1961 my peopleH5971, and I may beH1961 their GodH430, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.

12And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 13SonH1121 of manH120, when a landH776 sinneth against me by committing a trespass, and I stretchH5186 out my handH3027 upon it, and breakH7665 the staffH4294 of the breadH3899 thereof, and sendH7971 famineH7458 upon it, and cutH3772 off from it manH120 and beast; 14though these threeH7969 menH376, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, wereH1961 in it, they should deliverH5337 but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
