Ezekiel 14:8-11

English Standard Version

⁸ And ^(A)I will set my face against that man; I ^(B)will make him a sign and a byword ^(C)and cut him off from the midst of my people, ^(D)and you shall know that I am the Lord. ⁹ And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, ^(E)I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. ¹⁰ And they shall bear their punishment^[a]—the punishment of the prophet and the punishment of the inquirer shall be alike— ¹¹ that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor ^(F)defile themselves anymore with all their transgressions, ^(G)but that they may be my people and I may be their God, declares the Lord God.”
