Idolaters Condemned

1 Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me.¹ 2 Then the word of the LORD came to me: 3 "Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts² and put wicked stumbling blocks³ before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all?⁴ 4 Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face and then goes to a prophet, I the LORD will answer him myself in keeping with his great idolatry. 5 I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted⁵ me for their idols.'⁶
