Ezekiel 14:2 In-Context

1 Some of the leaders of the Israelites came to consult me about the Lord's will.

2 Then the Lord spoke to me.

3 "Mortal man," he said, "these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer?

4 "Now speak to them and tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them: Each of you Israelites who have given your heart to idols and let them lead you into sin and who then come to consult a prophet, will get an answer from me - the answer that your many idols deserve!

5 All those idols have turned the Israelites away from me, but by my answer I hope to win back their loyalty.
