Ezekiel 14:6-11

New International Version

⁶ “Therefore say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent!^(A) Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!^(B)

⁷ “‘When any of the Israelites or any foreigner^(C) residing in Israel separate themselves from me and set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block^(D) before their faces and then go to a prophet to inquire^(E) of me, I the Lord will answer them myself. ⁸ I will set my face against^(F) them and make them an example^(G) and a byword.^(H) I will remove them from my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.^(I)

⁹ “‘And if the prophet^(J) is enticed^(K) to utter a prophecy, I the Lord have enticed that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from among my people Israel.^{(L) 10} They will bear their guilt—the prophet will be as guilty as the one who consults him. ¹¹ Then the people of Israel will no longer stray^(M) from me, nor will they defile themselves anymore with all their sins. They will be my people,^(N) and I will be their God, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(O)’”
