EZEKIEL 13:23–14:14 Idolaters rejected. Prophets exposed 1072<br />

one with falsehood, a when I myself<br />

had not caused him pain,<br />

and for making the hands of a<br />

wicked one strong b so that he<br />

would not turn back from his<br />

bad way in order to preserve<br />

him alive, c 23 therefore untruth<br />

YOU women will not keep on<br />

visioning, d and divination e YOU<br />

will divine f no longer; g and I will<br />

deliver my people out of YOUR<br />

hand, h and YOU will have to know<br />

that I am Jehovah.’ ” i<br />

14<br />

And men from the elderly<br />

ones of Israel proceeded<br />

to come to me and sit down<br />

before me. j 2 Then the word of<br />

Jehovah occurred to me, saying:<br />

3 “Son of man, as regards<br />

these men, they have brought<br />

up their dungy idols upon their<br />

heart, and the stumbling block<br />

causing their error they have put<br />

in front of their faces. k Shall<br />

I be inquired of at all by them? l<br />

4 Therefore speak with them<br />

and you must say to them, ‘This<br />

is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah<br />

has said: “Any man at all of<br />

the house of Israel that brings up<br />

his dungy idols m upon his heart<br />

and that places the very stumbling<br />

block causing his error in<br />

front of his face and that actually<br />

comes to the prophet, I, Jehovah,<br />

I will let myself be brought<br />

to answer him in the matter according<br />

to the multitude of his<br />

dungy idols, n 5 for the purpose<br />

of catching the house of Israel by<br />

their heart, o because they have<br />

withdrawn themselves from me<br />

through their dungy idols—all of<br />

them.” ’ p<br />

6 “Therefore say to the house<br />

of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign<br />

Lord Jehovah has said:<br />

“Come back and turn yourselves<br />

back from YOUR dungy idols q<br />

and turn YOUR faces back even<br />

from all YOUR detestable things; r<br />

7 for any man at all from the<br />

house of Israel or from the alien<br />

residents that reside as aliens<br />

in Israel, that withdraws himself<br />

from following me a and that<br />

brings up his dungy idols upon<br />

his heart and that sets the very<br />

stumbling block causing his error<br />

in front of his face and that<br />

actually comes to the prophet<br />

to make inquiry for himself by<br />

me, b I, Jehovah, I am letting myself<br />

be brought to answer him<br />

by myself. 8 And I must set my<br />

face against that man c and place<br />

him for a sign d and for proverbial<br />

sayings, e and I must cut him<br />

off from the midst of my people; f<br />

and YOU people will have to know<br />

that I am Jehovah.” ’ g<br />

9 “‘And as for the prophet, in<br />

case he gets fooled and actually<br />

speaks a word, I myself, Jehovah,<br />

have fooled that prophet; h<br />

and I will stretch out my hand<br />

against him and annihilate him<br />

from the midst of my people Israel.<br />

i 10 And they will have to<br />

bear their error. j The error of the<br />

inquirer will prove to be just the<br />

same as the error of the prophet,<br />

k 11 in order that those of<br />

the house of Israel may no more<br />

go wandering off from following<br />

me l and may no more go defiling<br />

themselves with all their transgressions.<br />

And they must become<br />

my people and I myself<br />

shall become their God,’ is the<br />

utterance of the Sovereign Lord<br />

Jehovah.” m<br />

12 And the word of Jehovah<br />

continued to come to me, saying:<br />

13 “Son of man, as regards<br />

a land, in case it commits sin<br />

against me in acting unfaithfully,<br />

n I will also stretch out my<br />

hand against it and break for it<br />

the rods around which ringshaped<br />

and I will send upon it famine<br />
