Then came
certain
of the elders
of Israel
unto me, and sat
before
me.
And the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
Son
of man,
these men
have set up
their idols
in their heart,
and put
the stumblingblock
of their iniquity
before
their face:
should I be enquired
of at all
by them?
Therefore speak
unto them, and say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Every man
of the house
of Israel
that setteth up
his idols
in his heart,
and putteth
the stumblingblock
of his iniquity
before
his face,
and cometh
to the prophet;
I the LORD
will answer
him that cometh
according to the multitude
of his idols;
That I may take
the house
of Israel
in their own heart,
because they are all estranged
from me through their idols.
Therefore say
unto the house
of Israel,
Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Repent,
and turn
yourselves from your idols;
and turn away
your faces
from all your abominations.

For every one
of the house
of Israel,
or of the stranger
that sojourneth
in Israel,
which separateth
himself from me,
and setteth up
his idols
in his heart,
and putteth
the stumblingblock
of his iniquity
before
his face,
and cometh
to a prophet
to enquire
of him concerning me; I the LORD
will answer
him by myself:

And I will set
my face
against that man,
and will make
him a sign
and a proverb,
and I will cut him off
from the midst
of my people;
and ye shall know
that I am the LORD.
And if the prophet
be deceived
when he hath spoken
a thing,
I the LORD
have deceived
that prophet,
and I will stretch out
my hand
upon him, and will destroy
him from the midst
of my people
Israel.
And they shall bear
the punishment of their iniquity:
the punishment
of the prophet
shall be even as the punishment
of him that seeketh
unto him;
That the house
of Israel
may go no more astray
from me,
neither be polluted
any more with all their transgressions;
but that they may be my people,
and I may be their God,
saith
the Lord
GOD.
The word
of the LORD
came again to me, saying,
Son
of man,
when the land
sinneth
against me by trespassing
grievously,
then will I stretch out
mine hand
upon it, and will break
the staff
of the bread
thereof, and will send
famine
upon it, and will cut off
man
and beast
from it:

Though these three
men,
Noah,
Daniel,
and Job,
were in it,
they should deliver
but their own souls
by their righteousness,
saith
the Lord
GOD.
If
I cause noisome
beasts
to pass through
the land,
and they spoil
it, so that it be desolate,
that no man may pass through
because
of the beasts:
Though these three
men
were in it,
as I live,
saith
the Lord
GOD,
they shall deliver
neither sons
nor daughters;
they only shall be delivered,
but the land
shall be desolate.
Or if I bring
a sword
upon that land,
and say,
Sword,
go through
the land;
so that I cut off
man
and beast
from it:
say
Though these three
men
were in it,
as I live,
saith
the Lord
GOD,
they shall deliver
neither sons
nor daughters,
but they only shall be delivered
themselves.
Or if I send
a pestilence
into that land,
and pour out
my fury
upon it in blood,
to cut off
from it man
and beast:
send after

Though Noah,
Daniel,
and Job,
were in it,
as I live,
saith
the Lord
GOD,
they shall deliver
neither son
nor
daughter;
they shall but deliver
their own souls
by their righteousness.
For thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
How much more when I send
my four
sore
judgments
upon Jerusalem,
the sword,
and the famine,
and the noisome
beast,
and the pestilence,
to cut off
from it man
and beast?
Yet, behold, therein shall be left
a remnant
that shall be brought forth,
both sons
and daughters:
behold, they shall come forth
unto you, and ye shall see
their way
and their doings:
and ye shall be comforted
concerning the evil
that I have brought
upon Jerusalem,
even concerning all that I have brought
upon it.
