⁶ “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “^(A)Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your ^(B)abominations. ⁷ For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the ^(C)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, ^(D)I the Lord will let Myself answer him Myself. ⁸ I will ^(E)set My face against that person and make him a ^(F)sign and ^[a]a proverb, and I will eliminate him from among My people. So you will know that I am the Lord.
