Idolatrous Elders Punished

14 Then some ^(A)elders of Israel came to me and ^(B)sat down before me. ² And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ³ “Son of man, these men have ^(C)set up their idols in their hearts and have ^(D)put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be ^(E)inquired by them at all? ⁴ Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I Yahweh will be brought to give him an answer ^[a]in light of it, ^[b]in light of the ^(F)multitude of his idols, ⁵ in order to seize the house of Israel by ^(G)their heart, those who are ^[c](H)estranged from Me through all their idols.”’
