14:1 Then
certain
of
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
me
and
sat
before
me.
14:2 And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me:
14:3 "Son
of
man,
these
men
have
taken
their
idols
into
their
hearts,
and
set
the
stumbling
block
of
their
iniquity
before
their
faces.
Should
I
indeed
let
myself
be
consulted
by
them
14:4 Therefore
speak
to
them
and
say
to
them,
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Any
one
of
the
house
of
Israel
who
takes
his
idols
into
his
heart
and
sets
the
stumbling
block
of
his
iniquity
before
his
face,
and
yet
comes
to
the
prophet,
I
the
LORD
will
answer
him
as
he
comes
with
the
multitude
of
his
idols,
14:5 that
I
may
lay
hold
of
the
hearts
of
the
house
of
Israel,
who
are
all
estranged
from
me
through
their
idols.
14:6 "Therefore
say
to
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Repent
and
turn
away
from
your
idols,
and
turn
away
your
faces
from
all
your
abominations.
14:7 For
any
one
of
the
house
of
Israel,
or
of
the
strangers
who
sojourn
in
Israel,
who
separates
himself
from
me,
taking
his
idols
into
his
heart
and
putting
the
stumbling
block
of
his
iniquity
before
his
face,
and
yet
comes
to
a
prophet
to
consult
me
through
him,
I
the
LORD
will
answer
him
myself.
14:8 And
I
will
set
my
face
against
that
man;
I
will
make
him
a
sign
and
a
byword
and
cut
him
off
from
the
midst
of
my
people,
and
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
LORD.
14:9 And
if
the
prophet
is
deceived
and
speaks
a
word,
I,
the
LORD,
have
deceived
that
prophet,
and
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
against
him
and
will
destroy
him
from
the
midst
of
my
people
Israel.
14:10 And
they
shall
bear
their
punishment--the
punishment
of
the
prophet
and
the
punishment
of
the
inquirer
shall
be
alike--
14:11 that
the
house
of
Israel
may
no
more
go
astray
from
me,
nor
defile
themselves
anymore
with
all
their
transgressions,
but
that
they
may
be
my
people
and
I
may
be
their
God,
declares
the
Lord
GOD."
14:12 And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me:
14:13 "Son
of
man,
when
a
land
sins
against
me
by
acting
faithlessly,
and
I
stretch
out
my
hand
against
it
and
break
its
supply
of
bread
and
send
famine
upon
it,
and
cut
off
from
it
man
and
beast,
14:14 even
if
these
three
men,
Noah,
Daniel,
and
Job,
were
in
it,
they
would
deliver
but
their
own
lives
by
their
righteousness,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
14:15 "If
I
cause
wild
beasts
to
pass
through
the
land,
and
they
ravage
it,
and
it
be
made
desolate,
so
that
no
one
may
pass
through
because
of
the
beasts,
14:16 even
if
these
three
men
were
in
it,
as
I
live,
declares
the
Lord
GOD,
they
would
deliver
neither
sons
nor
daughters.
They
alone
would
be
delivered,
but
the
land
would
be
desolate.
14:17 "Or
if
I
bring
a
sword
upon
that
land
and
say,
Let
a
sword
pass
through
the
land,
and
I
cut
off
from
it
man
and
beast,
14:18 though
these
three
men
were
in
it,
as
I
live,
declares
the
Lord
GOD,
they
would
deliver
neither
sons
nor
daughters,
but
they
alone
would
be
delivered.
14:19 "Or
if
I
send
a
pestilence
into
that
land
and
pour
out
my
wrath
upon
it
with
blood,
to
cut
off
from
it
man
and
beast,
14:20 even
if
Noah,
Daniel,
and
Job
were
in
it,
as
I
live,
declares
the
Lord
GOD,
they
would
deliver
neither
son
nor
daughter.
They
would
deliver
but
their
own
lives
by
their
righteousness.
14:21 "For
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
How
much
more
when
I
send
upon
Jerusalem
my
four
disastrous
acts
of
judgment,
sword,
famine,
wild
beasts,
and
pestilence,
to
cut
off
from
it
man
and
beast!
14:22 But
behold,
some
survivors
will
be
left
in
it,
sons
and
daughters
who
will
be
brought
out;
behold,
when
they
come
out
to
you,
and
you
see
their
ways
and
their
deeds,
you
will
be
consoled
for
the
disaster
that
I
have
brought
upon
Jerusalem,
for
all
that
I
have
brought
upon
it.
14:23 They
will
console
you,
when
you
see
their
ways
and
their
deeds,
and
you
shall
know
that
I
have
not
done
without
cause
all
that
I
have
done
in
it,
declares
the
Lord
GOD."
