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 taken their idols into 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 tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I Yahweh will answer him therein according to 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.
