lesserot@Ezekiel:14:1 @ Then came there unto me certain men of the elders of Israel, and sat down before me.
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:2 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:3 @ Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and the stumblingblock of their iniquity have they placed before their faces: shall I in any wise let myself be inquired of by them?
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:4 @ Therefore speak with them and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whatever man it be of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet: I the Lord will answer him, although he cometh with the multitude of his idols;
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:5 @ In order that I may grasp the house of Israel by their heart, those who are separated from me through all their idols.
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:6 @ Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Return, and cause to turn away from your idols: and from all your abominations turn away your faces.
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:7 @ For whatever man it be of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and then cometh to the prophet to inquire through him of me: I the Lord will answer him through my word;
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:8 @ And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:9 @ And when the prophet suffereth himself to be deceived, and he speaketh a word: I the Lord have suffered that prophet to be deceived: and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:10 @ And they shall bear their guilt: as the guilt of the inquirer is, so shall the guilt of the prophet be;
lesserot@Ezekiel:14:11 @ In order that the house of Israel may go no more astray by not following me, and not pollute themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may become unto me a people, and I may be unto them a God, saith the Lord Eternal.
