7 For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I the Lord will answer him by Myself.
8 aI will set My face against that man and make him a bsign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. cThen you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 “And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I the Lord ahave induced that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired,
11 that the house of Israel may ano longer stray from Me, nor be profaned anymore with all their transgressions, bbut that they may be My people and I may be their God,“ says the Lord God.’ ”
Judgment on Persistent Unfaithfulness
12 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:
13 “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its asupply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it.
