^3 (A)“Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set ^(B)the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. ^(C)Should I indeed let myself be consulted by them? ⁴ Therefore speak to them and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Any one of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and sets the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to the prophet, ^(D)I the Lord will answer him as he comes with the multitude of his idols,

⁷ For any one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, ^(A)who separates himself from me, taking his idols into his heart and putting the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to a prophet to consult me through him, ^(B)I the Lord will answer him myself.

¹² Because they ministered to them before their idols and became ^(A)a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have ^(B)sworn concerning them, declares the Lord God, and they shall bear their punishment.
