3 vSon of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set wthe stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. xShould I indeed let myself be consulted by them? 4Therefore speak to them and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Any one of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and sets the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to the prophet, yI the Lord will answer him as he comes with the multitude of his idols, 5 zthat I may lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel, aawho are all estranged from me through their idols.

6Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: abRepent and turn away from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations. 7For any one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, acwho separates himself from me, taking his idols into his heart and putting the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to a prophet to consult me through him, adI the Lord will answer him myself.
