EZE-14:1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and
sat before me.
EZE-14:2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their
heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their
face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
EZE-14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that
setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the
stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to
the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to
the multitude of his idols;
EZE-14:5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart,
because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
EZE-14:6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and
turn away your faces from all your abominations.
EZE-14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the
stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself
from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the
stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a
prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer
him by myself:
EZE-14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make
him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst
of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a
thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch
out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my
people Israel.
EZE-14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity:
the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of
him that seeketh [unto him];
EZE-14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me,
neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but
that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the
Lord GOD.
EZE-14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
EZE-14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by
trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon
it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send
famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
EZE-14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in
it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their
righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land,
and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass
through because of the beasts:
EZE-14:16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live,
saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be
desolate.
EZE-14:17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword,
go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
EZE-14:18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live,
saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
EZE-14:19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour
out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
EZE-14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I
live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor
daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their
righteousness.
EZE-14:21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send
my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine,
and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it
man and beast?
EZE-14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that
shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they
shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their
doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I
have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have
brought upon it.
EZE-14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and
their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without
cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
