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 upH5927 their idolsH1544 in their heartsH3820 and have 4putH5414 in frontH5227 of their facesH6440 the stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of their wrongdoingH5771. Should I let Myself be 5consultedH1875 by them atH1875 allH1875? 4ThereforeH3651 speakH1696 to them and tellH559 them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 6GodH3068 saysH559: “AnyoneH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 setsH5927 upH5927 his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, putsH7760 in frontH5227 of his faceH6440 the stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of his wrongdoingH5771, and then comesH935 to the prophetH5030, I the LordH3068 will let Myself answerH6030 him in 7the matter in view of the 8multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544, 5inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 takeH8610 holdH8610 of 910the heartsH3820 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 have 1112turnedH2114 awayH2114 from Me due to allH3605 their idolsH1544.”’

6“ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “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 15strangersH1616 whoH834 resideH1481 in IsraelH3478, who desertsH5144 Me, setsH5927 upH5927 his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, putsH7760 in frontH5227 of his faceH6440 the stumblingH4383 blockH4383 of his wrongdoingH5771, and then comesH935 to the prophetH5030 to requestH1875 somethingH1875 of Me for himself, 16I the LordH3068 will let Myself answerH6030 him Myself. 8I will 17setH5414 My faceH6440 against that personH376 and makeH7760 him a 18signH226 and 19a proverbH4912, and I will eliminateH3772 him from amongH8432 My peopleH5971. So you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

9“But ifH3588 the prophetH5030 is persuadedH6601 so that he speaksH1696 a wordH1697, it is I, the LordH3068, who have persuadedH6601 that prophetH5030; and I will stretchH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 him and 20eliminateH8045 him from amongH8432 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
