Ezekiel:14:1 @
Then certain of the responsible men of Israel came to me and took their seats before me .
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:2 @
And the word of the Lord came to me ,
saying ,
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:3 @
Son of man ,
these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall :
am I to give ear when they come to me for directions ?
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:4 @
For this cause say to them ,
These are the words of the Lord :
Every man of Israel who has taken his false god into his heart ,
and put before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall ,
and comes to the prophet ;
I the Lord will give him an answer by myself in agreement with the number of his false gods ;
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:5 @
So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts ,
because they have become strange to me through their false gods .
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:6 @
For this cause say to the children of Israel ,
These are the words of the Lord :
Come back and give up your false gods and let your faces be turned from your disgusting things .
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:7 @
When any one of the men of Israel ,
or of those from other lands who are living in Israel ,
who has become strange to me ,
and takes his false gods into his heart ,
and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall ,
comes to the prophet to get directions from me ;
I the Lord will give him an answer by myself :
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:8 @
And my face will be turned against that man ,
and I will make him a sign and a common saying ,
cutting him off from among my people ;
and you will be certain that I am the Lord .
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:9 @
And if the prophet ,
tricked by deceit ,
says anything ,
it is I the Lord by whom he has been tricked ,
and I will put out my hand against him ,
and he will be cut off from among my people Israel .
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:10 @
And the punishment of their sin will be on them :
the sin of the prophet will be the same as the sin of him who goes to him for directions ;
bbe @
Ezekiel:14:11 @
So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me ,
or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing ;
but they will be my people ,
and I will be their God ,
says the Lord .
