1 Then came cer­tain of the el­ders of Is­rael unto me, and sat be­fore me. 2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 3 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? 4 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; 5 That I may take the house of Is­rael in their own heart, be­cause they are all es­tranged from me through their idols. 6 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. 7 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: 8 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. 9 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. 10 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; 11 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. 12 The word of the LORD came again to me, say­ing, 13 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: 14 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. 15 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: 16 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. 17 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: 18 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. 19 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: 20 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. 21 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? 22 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. 23 And they shall com­fort you, when ye see their ways and their do­ings: and ye shall know that I have not done with­out cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
