strkjv@Ezekiel:14:1 @ Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:2 @ And the word of the LORD Y@hovah# came unto me, saying ,
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:3 @ Son of man , these men have set up their idols in their heart , and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face : should I be enquired of at all by them?
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:4 @ Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD Y@hovih#; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart , and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face , and cometh to the prophet ; I the LORD Y@hovah# will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols ;
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:5 @ That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart , because they are all estranged from me through their idols .
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:6 @ Therefore say unto the house of Israel , Thus saith the Lord GOD Y@hovih#; Repent , and turn yourselves from your idols ; and turn away your faces from all your abominations .
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:7 @ For every one of the house of Israel , or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel , which separateth himself from me , and setteth up his idols in his heart , and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face , and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD Y@hovah# will answer him by myself:
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:8 @ And I will set my face against that man , and will make him a sign and a proverb , and I will cut him off from the midst of my people ; and ye shall know that I am the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:9 @ And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing , I the LORD Y@hovah# have deceived that prophet , and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel .
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:10 @ And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity : the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:11 @ That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me , neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions ; but that they may be my people , and I may be their God , saith n@#um# the Lord GOD Y@hovih#.
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:12 @ The word of the LORD Y@hovah# came again to me, saying ,
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:13 @ Son of man , when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously , then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:14 @ Though these three men , Noah , Daniel , and Job , were in it , they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness , saith n@#um# the Lord GOD Y@hovih#.
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:15 @ If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land , and they spoil it, so that it be desolate , that no man may pass through because of the beasts :
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:16 @ Though these three men were in it , as I live , saith n@#um# the Lord GOD Y@hovih#, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters ; they only shall be delivered , but the land shall be desolate .
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:17 @ Or if I bring a sword upon that land , and say , Sword , go through the land ; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:18 @ Though these three men were in it , as I live , saith n@#um# the Lord GOD Y@hovih#, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters , but they only shall be delivered themselves.
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:19 @ Or if I send a pestilence into that land , and pour out my fury upon it in blood , to cut off from it man and beast :
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:20 @ Though Noah , Daniel , and Job , were in it , as I live , saith n@#um# the Lord GOD Y@hovih#, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter ; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness .
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:21 @ For thus saith the Lord GOD Y@hovih#; How much more when Isend my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#, the sword , and the famine , and the noisome beast , and the pestilence , to cut off from it man and beast ?
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:22 @ Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth , both sons and daughters : behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings : and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
strkjv@Ezekiel:14:23 @ And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings : and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith n@#um# the Lord GOD Y@hovih#.

bible Ezekiel:14 -
kjv@Ezekiel:14:9 > > RandyP : Does this mean that God lies? That He deceives? Think of it this way, if He created the mental faculties to believe the truth when they heard it couldn't it also be said that these faculties could also be used to believe their own vain imaginations rather than the truth? If God made certain things to be more enticing than others to guide man along the straight and narrow, cannot that gravity toward be corrupted and converted to something else? If that which is meant for good can be used for harm, if that which locks men's hearts into good instead can lock them into falsehood, cannot it not be said then that God in this sense has made it so?
kjv@Ezekiel:14 > > RandyP : Three righteous men of the ages are given as repeated examples. The righteousness of these men can only save themselves; not even their immediate sons and daughters can be saved unless by their own individual righteousness. So too, only you yourself is saved if so be, your family and friends will have to be saved themselves by their own righteousness. Any righteousness any of us would have is found solely in the righteousness of Christ Jesus and on the personal confession of that alone will any individual be delivered.
