NET Bible
"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.’"
— Ezekiel 14:5, NET Bible
“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. ”
“that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through 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.”
The LORD’s message came to me:
“Son of man, these men have erected their idols in their hearts and placed the obstacle leading to their iniquity right before their faces. Should I really allow them to seek me?
Therefore speak to them and say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When anyone from the house of Israel erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face, and then consults a prophet, I the LORD am determined to answer him personally according to the enormity of his idolatry.
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.’
“Therefore say to the house of Israel,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Return! Turn from your idols, and turn your faces away from your abominations.
For when anyone from the house of Israel, or the resident foreigner who lives in Israel, separates himself from me and erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face, and then consults a prophet to seek something from me, I the LORD am determined to answer him personally.
I will set my face against that person and will make him an object lesson and a byword and will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
