1 # Then came <0935> (8799) certain <0582> of the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> unto me, and sat <03427> (8799) before <06440> me.
2 And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
3 Son <01121> of man <0120>, these men <0582> have set up <05927> (8689) their idols <01544> in their heart <03820>, and put <05414> (8804) the stumblingblock <04383> of their iniquity <05771> before <05227> their face <06440>: should I be enquired <01875> (8735) of at all <01875> (8736) by them?
4 Therefore speak <01696> (8761) unto them, and say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Every man <0376> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> that setteth up <05927> (8686) his idols <01544> in his heart <03820>, and putteth <07760> (8799) the stumblingblock <04383> of his iniquity <05771> before <05227> his face <06440>, and cometh <0935> (8804) to the prophet <05030>; I the LORD <03068> will answer <06030> (8738) him that cometh <0935> (8804) according to the multitude <07230> of his idols <01544>;
5 That I may take <08610> (8800) the house <01004> of Israel <03478> in their own heart <03820>, because they are all estranged <02114> (8738) from me through their idols <01544>.
6 Therefore say <0559> (8798) unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Repent <07725> (8798), and turn <07725> (8685) yourselves from your idols <01544> ; and turn away <07725> (8685) your faces <06440> from all your abominations <08441>.
7 For every one <0376> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, or of the stranger <01616> that sojourneth <01481> (8799) in Israel <03478>, which separateth <05144> (8735) himself from me <0310>, and setteth up <05927> (8799) his idols <01544> in his heart <03820>, and putteth <07760> (8799) the stumblingblock <04383> of his iniquity <05771> before <05227> his face <06440>, and cometh <0935> (8804) to a prophet <05030> to enquire <01875> (8800) of him concerning me; I the LORD <03068> will answer <06030> (8737) him by myself:
8 And I will set <05414> (8804) my face <06440> against that man <0376>, and will make <08074> (8689) him a sign <0226> and a proverb <04912>, and I will cut him off <03772> (8689) from the midst <08432> of my people <05971>; and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>.
9 And if the prophet <05030> be deceived <06601> (8792) when he hath spoken <01696> (8765) a thing <01697> , I the LORD <03068> have deceived <06601> (8765) that prophet <05030>, and I will stretch out <05186> (8804) my hand <03027> upon him, and will destroy <08045> (8689) him from the midst <08432> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>.
10 And they shall bear <05375> (8804) the punishment of their iniquity <05771>: the punishment <05771> of the prophet <05030> shall be even as the punishment <05771> of him that seeketh <01875> (8802) unto him;
11 That the house <01004> of Israel <03478> may go no more astray <08582> (8799) from me <0310>, neither be polluted <02930> (8691) any more with all their transgressions <06588>; but that they may be my people <05971>, and I may be their God <0430> , saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
12 # The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came again to me, saying <0559> (8800),
13 Son <01121> of man <0120>, when the land <0776> sinneth <02398> (8799) against me by trespassing <04603> (8800) grievously <04604>, then will I stretch out <05186> (8804) mine hand <03027> upon it, and will break <07665> (8804) the staff <04294> of the bread <03899> thereof, and will send <07971> (8689) famine <07458> upon it, and will cut off <03772> (8689) man <0120> and beast <0929> from it:
14 Though these three <07969> men <0582>, Noah <05146>, Daniel <01840>, and Job <0347>, were in it <08432> , they should deliver <05337> (8762) but their own souls <05315> by their righteousness <06666>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
15 If <03863> I cause noisome <07451> beasts <02416> to pass through <05674> (8686) the land <0776> , and they spoil <07921> (8765) it, so that it be desolate <08077>, that no man may pass through <05674> (8802) because <06440> of the beasts <02416>:
16 Though these three <07969> men <0582> were in it <08432>, as I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, they shall deliver <05337> (8686) neither sons <01121> nor daughters <01323> ; they only shall be delivered <05337> (8735), but the land <0776> shall be desolate <08077>.
17 Or if I bring <0935> (8686) a sword <02719> upon that land <0776>, and say <0559> (8804) , Sword <02719>, go through <05674> (8799) the land <0776>; so that I cut off <03772> (8689) man <0120> and beast <0929> from it:
18 Though these three <07969> men <0582> were in it <08432>, as I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, they shall deliver <05337> (8686) neither sons <01121> nor daughters <01323>, but they only shall be delivered <05337> (8735) themselves.
19 Or if I send <07971> (8762) a pestilence <01698> into that land <0776>, and pour out <08210> (8804) my fury <02534> upon it in blood <01818>, to cut off <03772> (8687) from it man <0120> and beast <0929>:
20 Though Noah <05146>, Daniel <01840>, and Job <0347>, were in it <08432>, as I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, they shall deliver <05337> (8686) neither son <01121> nor <0518> daughter <01323>; they shall but deliver <05337> (8686) their own souls <05315> by their righteousness <06666>.
21 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; How much more when I send <07971> (8765) my four <0702> sore <07451> judgments <08201> upon Jerusalem <03389>, the sword <02719>, and the famine <07458>, and the noisome <07451> beast <02416>, and the pestilence <01698>, to cut off <03772> (8687) from it man <0120> and beast <0929> ?
22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left <03498> (8738) a remnant <06413> that shall be brought forth <03318> (8716) , both sons <01121> and daughters <01323>: behold, they shall come forth <03318> (8802) unto you, and ye shall see <07200> (8804) their way <01870> and their doings <05949>: and ye shall be comforted <05162> (8738) concerning the evil <07451> that I have brought <0935> (8689) upon Jerusalem <03389>, even concerning all that I have brought <0935> (8689) upon it.
23 And they shall comfort <05162> (8765) you, when ye see <07200> (8799) their ways <01870> and their doings <05949>: and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I have not done <06213> (8804) without cause <02600> all that I have done <06213> (8804) in it, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
