“that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. ”
“that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.”
“I will do this in order to capture the hearts of the house of Israel, who have alienated themselves from me on account of all their idols.’”
“That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols.”
“So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.”
“That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.”
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
“Son of man, these men have placed their uncleanness in their hearts, and they have stationed the scandal of their iniquities before their face. So why should I respond when they inquire of me?
Because of this, speak to them, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: The man, the man of the house of Israel, who places his uncleanness in his heart, and who stations the scandal of his iniquities before his face, and who approaches a prophet, so as to inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him in accord with the multitude of his uncleannesses,
so that the house of Israel may be seized within their own heart, by which they have withdrawn from me to all their idols.
Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Be converted, and withdraw from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.
For the man, the man of the house of Israel, and the new arrival among the converts who may be in Israel, if he is alienated from me, and he sets his idols in his heart, and he stations the scandal of his iniquity before his face, and he approaches the prophet, so that he may inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him through myself.
And I will set my face against that man, and I will make him an example and a proverb. And I will perish him from the midst of my people. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
