Then came certain of the Zakenim of Yisra'el to me, and sat before me.
2
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
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 GOD: Every man of the house of Yisra'el who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;
5
that I may take the house of Yisra'el in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
