International Standard Version

A Prophecy against Israel’s Elders

20 On the seventh year, on the tenth day^[a] of the fifth month, men came from the elders of Israel to seek the Lord. They sat down in front of me.

² “Son of Man,” the Lord told me, ³ “Tell the elders of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God asks, “Did you come to inquire of me? As long as I live, I won’t let myself be sought by you,” declares the Lord God.’
