Ezekiel 14

1Then cameH935 certainH376 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 unto meH413, and satH3427 beforeH6440 meH413. 2And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 3SonH1121 of manH376, theseH428 menH376 have takenH5927 their idolsH1544 intoH5921 their heartH3820, and putH5414 the stumblingblock of their iniquityH5771 beforeH6440 their faceH6440: should I be inquiredH1875 of at allH376 by them? 4Therefore speakH1696 unto them, and sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LordH3068 GODH3068: EveryH376 manH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that taketh his idolsH1544 intoH413 his heartH3820, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquityH5771 beforeH6440 his faceH6440, and cometh to the prophetH5030; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him therein accordingH413 to the multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544; 5that I may takeH8610 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 in their own heartH3820, becauseH5921 they are allH3605 estranged from meH5921 throughH5921 their idolsH1544. 6Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: ReturnH7725 ye, and turnH7725 yourselves from your idolsH1544; and turnH7725 awayH7725 your facesH6440 from allH3605 your abominationsH8441. 7For everyH376 one of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangersH1616 that sojourn in IsraelH3478, whichH834 separateth himselfH3820 from meH413, and taketh his idolsH1544 intoH413 his heartH3820, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquityH5771 beforeH6440 his faceH6440, and cometh to the prophetH5030 to inquireH1875 for himselfH3820 of meH413; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him by myselfH589: 8and I will setH5414 my faceH6440 againstH6440 that manH376, and will makeH5414 him an astonishment, for a signH226 and a proverbH4912, and I will cutH3772 him offH3772 from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. 9And ifH3588 the prophetH5030 be deceived and speaketh a wordH1697, I the LORDH3068 have deceived that prophetH5030, and I will stretchH5186 outH5186 my handH3027 uponH5921 him, and will destroyH8045 him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 10And they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771: the iniquityH5771 of the prophetH5030 shall be even as the iniquityH5771 of him that seeketh unto him; 11that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 may goH1961 noH3808 moreH5750 astrayH8582 from meH310, neitherH3808 defileH2930 themselvesH310 anyH3605 moreH5750 with allH3605 their transgressionsH6588; but that they may be my peopleH5971, and I may be their GodH430, saith the LordH136 GODH430. 12And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 13SonH1121 of manH120, when a landH776 sinneth againstH5921 meH7971 by committingH4603 a trespassH4604, and I stretchH5186 outH4480 mineH4480 handH3027 uponH5921 it, and breakH7665 the staffH4294 of the breadH3899 thereof, and sendH7971 famineH7458 uponH5921 it, and cutH3772 offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929; 14though theseH428 threeH7969 menH376, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in it, they should deliverH5337 but their ownH1961 soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saith the LordH136 GODH136. 15IfH3863 I causeH1961 noisome beastsH2416 to passH5674 throughH5674 the landH776, and they spoil it, soH1961 that it be desolateH8077, that noH1097 man may passH5674 throughH5674 becauseH6440 of the beastsH2416; 16thoughH518 theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 were in it, as I liveH2416, saith the LordH136 GODH136, they shall deliverH5337 neitherH518 sonsH1121 norH518 daughtersH1323; they onlyH905 shall be deliveredH5337, but the landH776 shall be desolateH8077. 17Or ifH176 I bringH935 a swordH2719 uponH5921 that landH776, and sayH559, SwordH2719, goH935 throughH4480 the landH776; soH4480 that I cutH3772 offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929; 18thoughH3588 theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 were in it, as I liveH2416, saith the LordH136 GODH136; they shall deliverH5337 neitherH3808 sonsH1121 norH3808 daughtersH1323, but they onlyH905 shall be deliveredH5337 themselvesH905. 19Or ifH176 I sendH7971 a pestilenceH1698 intoH413 that landH776, and pourH8210 outH4480 my furyH2534 uponH5921 it in bloodH1818, to cutH3772 offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929: 20thoughH518 NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in it, as I liveH2416, saith the LordH136 GODH136, they shall deliverH5337 neitherH518 sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their ownH5315 soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666. 21For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: HowH637 muchH637 moreH4480 when I sendH7971 my fourH702 sore judgmentsH8201 uponH413 JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisome beastsH929, and the pestilenceH1698, to cutH3772 offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? 22Yet, beholdH2009, therein shall be leftH3498 a remnantH6413 that shall be carriedH935 forthH3318, bothH3605 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323: beholdH2009, they shall comeH935 forthH3318 unto youH834, and ye shall seeH7200 their wayH1870 and their doings: and ye shall be comfortedH5162 concerning the evilH7451 that I have broughtH935 uponH5921 JerusalemH3389, evenH853 concerning allH3605 that I have broughtH935 uponH5921 it. 23And they shall comfortH5162 youH834, when ye seeH7200 their wayH1870 and their doings: and ye shall knowH3045 that I have notH3808 doneH6213 withoutH3808 causeH2600 allH3605 that I have doneH6213 in it, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
