Ezekiel 14:5-7

New English Translation

⁵ I will do this in order to capture the hearts of the house of Israel, who have alienated themselves from me on account of all their idols.’

⁶ “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Return! Turn from your idols, and turn your faces away from your abominations. ⁷ For when anyone from the house of Israel, or the resident foreigner^[a] who lives in Israel, separates himself from me and erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face, and then consults a prophet to seek something from me, I the Lord am determined to answer him personally.
