Ezekiel 14:1-9

1Then someH376 1eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to me and 2satH3427 downH3427 beforeH6440 me. 2And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 3“SonH1121 of manH120, theseH428 menH376 have 3setH5927 up their idolsH1544 in their heartsH3820 and have 4putH5414 rightH5227 beforeH5227 their facesH6440 the stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of their iniquityH5771. Should I be 5consultedH1875 by them at allH1875? 4ThereforeH3651 speakH1696 to them and tellH559 them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 6GodH3068, “AnyH376 manH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 setsH5927 up his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, putsH7760 rightH5227 beforeH5227 his faceH6440 the stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of his iniquityH5771, and then comesH935 to the prophetH5030, I the LordH3068 will be broughtH6030 to giveH6030 him an answerH6030 in 7the matter in view of the 8multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544, 5in orderH4616 to layH8610 holdH8610 of 910the heartsH3820 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 are 1112estrangedH2114 from Me through allH3605 their idolsH1544.”’

6“ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “13RepentH7725 and turnH7725 awayH7725 from your idolsH1544 and turnH7725 your facesH6440 awayH7725 from allH3605 your 14abominationsH8441. 7For anyoneH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 or of the 15immigrantsH1616 whoH834 stayH1481 in IsraelH3478 who separatesH5144 himself from Me, setsH5927 up his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, putsH7760 rightH5227 beforeH5227 his faceH6440 the stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of his iniquityH5771, and then comesH935 to the prophetH5030 to inquireH1875 of Me for himself, 16I the LordH3068 will be broughtH6030 to answerH6030 him in My own person. 8I will 17setH5414 My faceH6440 against that manH376 and makeH7760 him a 18signH226 and 19a proverbH4912, and I will cutH3772 him offH3772 from amongH8432 My peopleH5971. So you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

9“But ifH3588 the prophetH5030 is 20prevailedH6601 upon to speakH1696 a wordH1697, it is I, the LordH3068, who have 21prevailedH6601 upon that prophetH5030, and I will stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 him and 22destroyH8045 him from amongH8432 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
