Stop Worshiping Idols

14 Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me. ² Then the ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying: ³ “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], these people ·want to worship idols [^Lhave set up idols in their hearts]. They put up ·evil things that cause people to sin [^Lwicked stumbling blocks/obstacles before their faces]. Should I allow them to ·ask me for help [consult me]? ⁴ So speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: When any of the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel ·want to worship idols [sets up idols in their heart] and put up ·evil things that cause people to sin [^Lwicked stumbling blocks/obstacles before their faces] and then ·come to the [consult a] prophet, I, the Lord, will answer them myself ·for worshiping idols [^Lin accordance with the multitude of their idols]. ⁵ Then I will ·win back [take hold of/recapture the hearts of] my people Israel, who have left me because of all their idols.’
