Ezekiel 14 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Idolatrous Elders Condemned

Then some^H376 elders^H2205 of Israel^H3478 came^H935 to me and sat^H3427 down^H3427 before^H6440 me.

Eze 14:2And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Eze 14:3“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put in front of their faces the stumbling block of their wrongdoing. Should I let Myself be consulted by them at all?

Eze 14:4

Eze 14:4“Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord [fn]GOD says: “Anyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts in front of his face the stumbling block of his wrongdoing, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will let Myself answer him in [fn]the matter in view of the multitude of his idols,

Eze 14:5

Eze 14:5in order to take hold of [fn]the hearts of the house of Israel who have [fn]turned away from Me due to all their idols.”’

Eze 14:6

“Therefore^H3651 say^H559 to the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, ‘This^H3541 is^H3541 what^H3541 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3068 says^H559: “Repent^H7725 and turn^H7725 away^H7725 from your idols^H1544, and turn^H7725 your faces^H6440 away^H7725 from all^H3605 your abominations^H8441.

Eze 14:7

Eze 14:7“For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who reside in Israel, who deserts Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts in front of his face the stumbling block of his wrongdoing, and then comes to the prophet to request something of Me for himself, I the LORD will let Myself answer him Myself.

Eze 14:8

Eze 14:8“I will set My face against that person and make him a sign and [fn]a proverb, and I will eliminate him from among My people. So you will know that I am the LORD.

Eze 14:9

“But if^H3588 the prophet^H5030 is persuaded^H6601 so that he speaks^H1696 a word^H1697, it is I, the LORD^H3068, who have persuaded^H6601 that prophet^H5030; and I will stretch^H5186 out^H5186 My hand^H3027 against^H5921 him and eliminate^H8045 him from among^H8432 My people^H5971 Israel^H3478.

Eze 14:10

Eze 14:10“And they will bear the punishment for their wrongdoing; as the wrongdoing of the inquirer is, so the wrongdoing of the prophet will be,

Eze 14:11

Eze 14:11in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their offenses. So they will be My people, and I shall be their God,”’ declares the Lord GOD.”

The City Will Not Be Spared

Eze 14:12

Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came^H1961 to me, saying^H559,

Eze 14:13

Eze 14:13“Son of man, if a country sins against Me by being unfaithful, and I stretch out My hand against it, [fn]destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it, and eliminate from it both human and animal life,

Eze 14:14

Eze 14:14even though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only save themselves,” declares the Lord GOD.

Eze 14:15

Eze 14:15“If I were to cause vicious animals to pass through the land and they [fn]depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the animals,

Eze 14:16

Eze 14:16though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “they could not save either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be saved, but the country would be desolate.

Eze 14:17

Eze 14:17“Or if I were to bring a sword on that country and say, ‘A sword is to pass through the country,’ and I eliminated human and animal life from it,

Eze 14:18

Eze 14:18even though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “they could not save either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be saved.

Eze 14:19

Eze 14:19“Or if I were to send a plague against that country and pour out My wrath on it in blood to eliminate man and animal from it,

Eze 14:20

Eze 14:20even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “they could not save either their son or their daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness.”

Eze 14:21

For this^H3541 is^H3541 what^H3541 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3068 says^H559: “How^H637 much^H637 more^H637^H3588 when^H3588 I send^H7971 My four^H702 [fn]severe^H7451 judgments^H8201 against^H413 Jerusalem^H3389: sword^H2719, famine^H7458, vicious^H7451 animals^H2416, and plague^H1698 to eliminate^H3772 human^H120 and animal^H929 life from it!

Eze 14:22

Eze 14:22“Yet, behold, [fn]survivors will be left in it who will be brought out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they are going to come out to you, and you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the disaster which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it.

Eze 14:23

Eze 14:23“Then they will comfort you when you see their conduct and actions, for you will know that I have not done without reason whatever I did [fn]to it,” declares the Lord GOD.
