Ezekiel 14:1-5

New Century Version

Stop Worshiping Idols

14 Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me. ² Then the Lord spoke his word to me, saying: ³ “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? ⁴ 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. ⁵ Then I will win back my people Israel, who have left me because of all their idols.’
