Ezekiel 14 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Idolatrous Elders Condemned

Eze 14:1And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and sit before me.

Eze 14:2And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

Eze 14:3'Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they have put over-against their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?

Eze 14:4

Eze 14:4'Therefore, speak with them, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath gone in unto the prophet -- I Jehovah have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,

Eze 14:5

Eze 14:5in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off me by their idols -- all of them.

Eze 14:6

Eze 14:6'Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and from all your abominations turn back your faces,

Eze 14:7

Eze 14:7for every one of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for Myself;

Eze 14:8

Eze 14:8and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.

Eze 14:9

Eze 14:9'And the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a word -- I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from the midst of My people Israel.

Eze 14:10

Eze 14:10And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;

Eze 14:11

Eze 14:11so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

The City Will Not Be Spared

Eze 14:13

Eze 14:13'Son of man, the land -- when it sinneth against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine, and cut off from it man and beast --

Eze 14:15

Eze 14:19'Or -- pestilence I send unto that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast --

Eze 14:20

Eze 14:20and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah -- neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.

Eze 14:22

Eze 14:22yet, lo, there hath been left in it an escape, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.

Eze 14:23
