Ezekiel 14:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Son of man, these men have reserved a special place in their hearts for their idols and have continued to revere the occasions of sin that led to their downfall. Why should I allow myself to be consulted by them?

⁴ Therefore, speak to them and declare this: Thus says the Lord God: To all those belonging to the house of Israel who continue to revere their idols in their hearts and fail to remove the stumbling block of their iniquity and then approach a prophet, I, the Lord, will deliver my answer to those who approach me with their multitude of idols. ⁵ In this way, I will recapture the hearts of the house of Israel, all of those who have been estranged from me through their idols.
