Ezekiel 14:4–8

⁴“Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord ¹God, “Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will be brought to give him an answer in ²the matter in view of the ^amultitude of his idols,

⁵in order to lay hold of ^1athe hearts of the house of Israel who are ^2bestranged from Me through all their idols.” ’

⁶“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “^aRepent and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your ^babominations.

⁷“For anyone of the house of Israel or of the ^aimmigrants who stay in Israel who separates himself from Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me for himself, ^bI the Lord will be brought to answer him in My own person.

⁸“I will ^aset My face against that man and make him a ^bsign and ¹a proverb, and I will cut him off from among My people. So you will know that I am the Lord.
