Ezekiel 14:10-11

14:10 They will bear their punishment; ¹  the punishment of the one who sought an oracle will be the same as the punishment of the prophet who gave it ²  14:11 so that the house of Israel will no longer go astray from me, nor continue to defile themselves by all their sins. They will be my people and I will be their God, ³  declares the sovereign Lord.’”

¹ tn Or “They will bear responsibility for their iniquity.” The Hebrew term “iniquity” (three times in this verse) often refers by metonymy to the consequence of sin (see Gen 4:13).

² tn Or “As is the guilt of the inquirer so is the guilt of the prophet.”

³ sn I will be their God. See Exod 6:7; Lev 26:12; Jer 7:23; 11:4.
