14:1 Then came 935 8799 certain 582 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 unto me, and sat 3427 8799 before 6440 me.

14:2 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

14:3 Son 1121 of man 120, these men 582 have set up 5927 8689 their idols 1544 in their heart 3820, and put 5414 8804 the stumblingblock 4383 of their iniquity 5771 before 5227 their face 6440: should I be enquired 1875 8735 of at all 1875 8736 by them?

14:4 Therefore speak 1696 8761 unto them, and say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Every man 376 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 that setteth up 5927 8686 his idols 1544 in his heart 3820, and putteth 7760 8799 the stumblingblock 4383 of his iniquity 5771 before 5227 his face 6440, and cometh 935 8804 to the prophet 5030; I the LORD 3068 will answer 6030 8738 him that cometh 935 8804 according to the multitude 7230 of his idols 1544;

14:5 That I may take 8610 8800 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 in their own heart 3820, because they are all estranged 2114 8738 from me through their idols 1544.

14:6 Therefore say 559 8798 unto the house 1004 of Israel 3478, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Repent 7725 8798, and turn 7725 8685 [yourselves] from your idols 1544; and turn away 7725 8685 your faces 6440 from all your abominations 8441.(yourselves: or, others)

14:7 For every one 376 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, or of the stranger 1616 that sojourneth 1481 8799 in Israel 3478, which separateth 5144 8735 himself from me 310, and setteth up 5927 8799 his idols 1544 in his heart 3820, and putteth 7760 8799 the stumblingblock 4383 of his iniquity 5771 before 5227 his face 6440, and cometh 935 8804 to a prophet 5030 to enquire 1875 8800 of him concerning me; I the LORD 3068 will answer 6030 8737 him by myself:

14:8 And I will set 5414 8804 my face 6440 against that man 376, and will make 8074 8689 him a sign 226 and a proverb 4912, and I will cut him off 3772 8689 from the midst 8432 of my people 5971; and ye shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the LORD 3068.

14:9 And if the prophet 5030 be deceived 6601 8792 when he hath spoken 1696 8765 a thing 1697, I the LORD 3068 have deceived 6601 8765 that prophet 5030, and I will stretch out 5186 8804 my hand 3027 upon him, and will destroy 8045 8689 him from the midst 8432 of my people 5971 Israel 3478.

14:10 And they shall bear 5375 8804 the punishment of their iniquity 5771: the punishment 5771 of the prophet 5030 shall be even as the punishment 5771 of him that seeketh 1875 8802 [unto him];

14:11 That the house 1004 of Israel 3478 may go no more astray 8582 8799 from me 310, neither be polluted 2930 8691 any more with all their transgressions 6588; but that they may be my people 5971, and I may be their God 430, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

14:12 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came again to me, saying 559 8800,

14:13 Son 1121 of man 120, when the land 776 sinneth 2398 8799 against me by trespassing 4603 8800 grievously 4604, then will I stretch out 5186 8804 mine hand 3027 upon it, and will break 7665 8804 the staff 4294 of the bread 3899 thereof, and will send 7971 8689 famine 7458 upon it, and will cut off 3772 8689 man 120 and beast 929 from it:

14:14 Though these three 7969 men 582, Noah 5146, Daniel 1840, and Job 347, were in it 8432, they should deliver 5337 8762 [but] their own souls 5315 by their righteousness 6666, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

14:15 If 3863 I cause noisome 7451 beasts 2416 to pass through 5674 8686 the land 776, and they spoil 7921 8765 it, so that it be desolate 8077, that no man may pass through 5674 8802 because 6440 of the beasts 2416:(spoil: or, bereave)

14:16 [Though] these three 7969 men 582 [were] in it 8432, [as] I live 2416, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, they shall deliver 5337 8686 neither sons 1121 nor daughters 1323; they only shall be delivered 5337 8735, but the land 776 shall be desolate 8077.(in it: Heb. in the midst of it)

14:17 Or [if] I bring 935 8686 a sword 2719 upon that land 776, and say 559 8804, Sword 2719, go through 5674 8799 the land 776; so that I cut off 3772 8689 man 120 and beast 929 from it:

14:18 Though these three 7969 men 582 [were] in it 8432, [as] I live 2416, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, they shall deliver 5337 8686 neither sons 1121 nor daughters 1323, but they only shall be delivered 5337 8735 themselves.

14:19 Or [if] I send 7971 8762 a pestilence 1698 into that land 776, and pour out 8210 8804 my fury 2534 upon it in blood 1818, to cut off 3772 8687 from it man 120 and beast 929:

14:20 Though Noah 5146, Daniel 1840, and Job 347, [were] in it 8432, [as] I live 2416, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, they shall deliver 5337 8686 neither son 1121 nor 518 daughter 1323; they shall [but] deliver 5337 8686 their own souls 5315 by their righteousness 6666.

14:21 For thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; How much more when I send 7971 8765 my four 702 sore 7451 judgments 8201 upon Jerusalem 3389, the sword 2719, and the famine 7458, and the noisome 7451 beast 2416, and the pestilence 1698, to cut off 3772 8687 from it man 120 and beast 929?(How…: or, Also when)

14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left 3498 8738 a remnant 6413 that shall be brought forth 3318 8716, [both] sons 1121 and daughters 1323: behold, they shall come forth 3318 8802 unto you, and ye shall see 7200 8804 their way 1870 and their doings 5949: and ye shall be comforted 5162 8738 concerning the evil 7451 that I have brought 935 8689 upon Jerusalem 3389, [even] concerning all that I have brought 935 8689 upon it.

14:23 And they shall comfort 5162 8765 you, when ye see 7200 8799 their ways 1870 and their doings 5949: and ye shall know 3045 8804 that I have not done 6213 8804 without cause 2600 all that I have done 6213 8804 in it, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
