Ezekiel 14:1-5
New Living Translation
The Idolatry of Israel’s Leaders
14 Then some of the leaders of Israel visited me, and while they were sitting with me, 2 this message came to me from the Lord: 3 “Son of man, these leaders have set up idols[a] in their hearts. They have embraced things that will make them fall into sin. Why should I listen to their requests? 4 Tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Israel have set up idols in their hearts and fallen into sin, and then they go to a prophet asking for a message. So I, the Lord, will give them the kind of answer their great idolatry deserves. 5 I will do this to capture the minds and hearts of all my people who have turned from me to worship their detestable idols.’

14 Then some of the elders of Israel visited me to ask me for a message from the Lord, 2 and this is the message that came to me to give to them:
3 “Son of dust, these men worship idols in their hearts—should I let them ask me anything? 4 Tell them, ‘The Lord God says: I, the Lord, will personally deal with anyone in Israel who worships idols and then comes to ask my help. 5 For I will punish the minds and hearts of those who turn from me to idols.’
