Ezekiel 14:1-5

Idolatrous Elders Condemned

1Then certain of the aelders of Israel came to me band sat before me. 2And the word of the Lord came to me: 3 cSon of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set dthe stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. eShould 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, fI the Lord will answer him as he comes with the multitude of his idols, 5 gthat I may lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel, hwho are all estranged from me through their idols.
