Ezekiel 14:6-11

Lexham English Bible

⁶ Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Return,^[a] and turn away from your idols and from all of your detestable things! Turn away your faces!”’ ⁷ For each person^[b] from the house of Israel, and from the alien who dwells as an alien in Israel, who separates himself from following me^[c] and brings up his idols into his heart and places before himself^[d] a stumbling block of his guilt^[e], and yet he comes to the prophet to consult him concerning me, I Yahweh will answer^[f] him myself. ⁸ And I will set my face against that person, and I will make him to^[g] be a sign and make him into^[h] the subject of proverbs; and I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and you will know I am Yahweh. ⁹ And the prophet, if he is deceived and he speaks a word, I Yahweh, I have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. ¹⁰ And they will bear their guilt, like^[i] the guilt of the inquirer so^[j] the guilt of the prophet will be, ¹¹ so that the house of Israel will not go astray again from me,^[k] and they will not make themselves unclean again with all of their transgressions, and they will be for me a people, and I will be for them as God,” declares^[l] the Lord Yahweh.
