Ezekiel 14:2-11

2And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 3“Son of man, these men have 1set up their idols in their hearts and have 2put in front of their faces the stumbling block of their wrongdoing. Should I let Myself be 3consulted by them at all? 4Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord 4God says: “Anyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts in front of his face the stumbling block of his wrongdoing, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will let Myself answer him in 5the matter in view of the 6multitude of his idols, 5in order to take hold of 78the hearts of the house of Israel who have 910turned away from Me due to all their idols.”’

6“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “11Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your 12abominations. 7For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the 13strangers who reside in Israel, who deserts Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts in front of his face the stumbling block of his wrongdoing, and then comes to the prophet to request something of Me for himself, 14I the Lord will let Myself answer him Myself. 8I will 15set My face against that person and make him a 16sign and 17a proverb, and I will eliminate him from among My people. So you will know that I am the Lord.

9“But if the prophet is persuaded so that he speaks a word, it is I, the Lord, who have persuaded that prophet; and I will stretch out My hand against him and 18eliminate him from among My people Israel. 10And they will bear the punishment for their wrongdoing; as the wrongdoing of the inquirer is, so the wrongdoing of the prophet will be, 11in order that the house of Israel may no longer 19stray from Me and no longer 20defile themselves with all their offenses. So they will be 21My people, and I shall be their God,”’ declares the Lord God.”
