Ezekiel 14:6-11
6“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “1Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your 2abominations. 7For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the 3strangers 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, 4I the Lord will let Myself answer him Myself. 8I will 5set My face against that person and make him a 6sign and 7a 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 8eliminate 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 9stray from Me and no longer 10defile themselves with all their offenses. So they will be 11My people, and I shall be their God,”’ declares the Lord God.”
