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 caused their uncleanness to come up over their heart and have established the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
4
Therefore speak unto them and say unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Every man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart and has established the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face and comes to the prophet, I, the LORD, will answer him that comes like this in the multitude of his idols
5
that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
