Ezekiel 44:12

12 Because they used to minister to them before their idols, and became a sinful obstacle ^{▼▼ Heb “a stumbling block of iniquity.” This is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (cf. also Ezek 7:19; 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30).} to the house of Israel, consequently I have made a vow ^{▼▼ Heb “I lifted up my hand.”} concerning them, declares the sovereign Lord, that they will be responsible ^{▼▼ Heb “will bear.”} for their sin.
