Ezekiel 14:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ “So say to the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: ·Change your hearts and lives [Repent], and ·stop worshiping [^Lturn from your] idols. ·Stop doing [^LTurn your faces from] all ·the things I hate [your abominations/detestable practices]. ⁷ Any of the Israelites or foreigners in Israel can separate themselves from me by ·wanting to worship idols [^Lsetting up idols in their hearts] or by putting ·up things that cause people to sin [^Lbefore their face a wicked stumbling block/obstacle]. Then if they come to the prophet to ·ask me questions [consult me], I, the Lord, will answer them myself. ⁸ I will ·reject [^Lset my face against] them. I will make them a sign and an ·example [proverb; byword], and I will ·separate them [^Lcut them off] from my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
