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 hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by them at all?
4
"Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will be brought to give him an answer in the matter in view of the multitude of his idols,
5
in order to lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel who are estranged from Me through all their idols."'
