*
Now some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me .
*
And the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
* "
Son of man ,
these men have set up their idols in their hearts ,
and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity .
Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them ?
* "
Therefore speak to them ,
and say to them , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart ,
and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity ,
and then comes to the prophet ,
I the LORD will answer him who comes ,
according to the multitude of his idols ,
*
that I may seize the house of Israel by their heart ,
because they are all estranged from Me by their idols ."'
* "
Therefore say to the house of Israel , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Repent ,
turn away from your idols ,
and turn your faces away from all your abominations .
*
For anyone of the house of Israel ,
or of the strangers who dwell in Israel ,
who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity ,
then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me ,
I the LORD will answer him by Myself .
*
I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb ,
and I will cut him off from the midst of My people .
Then you shall know that I am the LORD .
* "
And if the prophet is induced to speak anything ,
I the LORD have induced that prophet ,
and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel .
*
And they shall bear their iniquity ;
the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired ,
*
that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me ,
nor be profaned anymore with all their transgressions ,
but that they may be My people and I may be their God ,"
says the Lord GOD ."'
