Ezekiel 14:1-8

Ezekiel 14:1-8 NCV

Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me. Then the LORD spoke his word to me, saying: “Human, these people want to worship idols. They put up evil things that cause people to sin. Should I allow them to ask me for help? So speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: When any of the people of Israel want to worship idols and put up evil things that cause people to sin and then come to the prophet, I, the LORD, will answer them myself for worshiping idols. Then I will win back my people Israel, who have left me because of all their idols.’ “So say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Change your hearts and lives, and stop worshiping idols. Stop doing all the things I hate. Any of the Israelites or foreigners in Israel can separate themselves from me by wanting to worship idols or by putting up the things that cause people to sin. Then if they come to the prophet to ask me questions, I, the LORD, will answer them myself. I will reject them. I will make them a sign and an example, and I will separate them from my people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
