And the word of the Lord came unto me While the elders were sitting before him, and whispered secretly and powerfully the following things in his ears: saying; as follows:
3
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
4
Therefore speak to them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him according to this, according to the multitude of his idols:
5
that I may take the house of Israel by their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
