Context
Well-Deserved Judgment
14:1 Then some men from Israel’s elders came to me and sat down in front of me.
14:2 The word of the Lord came to me:
14:3 “Son of man , these men have erected their idols in their hearts and placed the obstacle leading to their iniquity right before their faces . Should I really allow them to seek me?
14:4 Therefore speak to them and say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says : When any one from the house of Israel erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face , and then consults a prophet , I the Lord am determined to answer him personally according to the enormity of his idolatry .
14:5 I will do this in order to capture the hearts of the house of Israel , who have alienated themselves from me on account of all their idols .’
14:6 “Therefore say to the house of Israel , ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says : Return ! Turn from your idols , and turn your faces away from your abominations .
14:7 For when anyone from the house of Israel , or the foreigner who lives in Israel , separates himself from me and erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face , and then consults a prophet to seek something from me, I the Lord am determined to answer him personally.
14:8 I will set my face against that person and will make him an object lesson and a byword and will cut him off from among my people . Then you will know that I am the Lord .
