Ezekiel 14:2-8

Ezekiel 14:2-8 TPT

YAHWEH spoke to me, saying, “Son of man, these men have set up idols deep within their hearts. And they have set idols before their eyes, so why should I let them ask me anything? So tell them this, ‘Lord YAHWEH says: If any Israelite comes to consult with the prophet despite a heart that worships idols and eyes looking on that which leads into wickedness, I, YAHWEH, will answer that person directly. I will give the answer that is deserved because of the great extent of the idolatry. And in this way I hope to capture the hearts of the people of Israel who have all been estranged because of all their idols.’ “Therefore, prophesy to the people of Israel, ‘Lord YAHWEH says to you: Repent! Come back to me and forsake your idols. Once and for all, turn your backs on all your detestable practices. If any Israelite or a foreigner living among you rejects me with idolatry of the heart and has intentionally gazed on that which leads into wickedness, yet goes to consult with a prophet, then, I, YAHWEH, will answer that person myself. I will oppose that person! I will cut the idolator off from my people as an example and a warning to others. And then you will know that I am YAHWEH.
