Ezekiel 14:6-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “(A)Repent and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your (B)abominations. 7 For anyone of the house of Israel or of the (C)immigrants who stay in Israel who separates himself from Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me for himself, (D)I the Lord will be brought to answer him in My own person. 8 I will (E)set My face against that man and make him a (F)sign and [a]a proverb, and I will cut him off from among My people. So you will know that I am the Lord.
9 “But if the prophet is [b]prevailed upon to speak a word, it is I, the Lord, who have [c]prevailed upon that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and (G)destroy him from among My people Israel. 10 They will bear the punishment of their iniquity; as the iniquity of the inquirer is, so the iniquity of the prophet will be, 11 in order that the house of Israel may no longer (H)stray from Me and no longer (I)defile themselves with all their transgressions. Thus they will be (J)My people, and I shall be their God,”’ declares the Lord God.”

6 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “(A)Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your (B)abominations. 7 For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the (C)strangers who reside in Israel, who deserts Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts in front of his face the stumbling block of his wrongdoing, and then comes to the prophet to request something of Me for himself, (D)I the Lord will let Myself answer him Myself. 8 I will (E)set My face against that person and make him a (F)sign and [a]a proverb, and I will eliminate him from among My people. So you will know that I am the Lord.
9 “But if the prophet is persuaded so that he speaks a word, it is I, the Lord, who have persuaded that prophet; and I will stretch out My hand against him and (G)eliminate him from among My people Israel. 10 And they will bear the punishment for their wrongdoing; as the wrongdoing of the inquirer is, so the wrongdoing of the prophet will be, 11 in order that the house of Israel may no longer (H)stray from Me and no longer (I)defile themselves with all their offenses. So they will be (J)My people, and I shall be their God,”’ declares the Lord God.”
