WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.940 Chapter 14 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. 00:07.340 --> 00:13.860 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, These men have set up 00:13.860 --> 00:17.680 their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before 00:17.680 --> 00:18.240 their face. 00:18.860 --> 00:21.180 Should I be inquired of at all by them? 00:21.900 --> 00:26.900 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, 00:27.400 --> 00:31.480 Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, 00:31.780 --> 00:36.520 and putteth the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to 00:36.520 --> 00:41.020 the prophet, I, the Lord, will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of 00:41.020 --> 00:46.340 his idols, that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they 00:46.340 --> 00:49.280 are all estranged from me through their idols. 00:50.220 --> 00:55.240 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Repent, 00:55.820 --> 01:00.280 and turn yourselves from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your 01:00.280 --> 01:01.020 abominations. 01:01.780 --> 01:06.280 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in 01:06.280 --> 01:11.560 Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, 01:11.820 --> 01:16.440 and putteth the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a 01:16.440 --> 01:21.320 prophet to inquire of him concerning me, I, the Lord, will answer him by myself, 01:21.320 --> 01:26.960 and I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, 01:27.720 --> 01:33.400 and I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and ye shall know that I am the 01:33.400 --> 01:33.720 Lord. 01:35.660 --> 01:39.900 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I, the Lord, 01:40.060 --> 01:44.500 have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will 01:44.500 --> 01:46.780 destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. 01:47.440 --> 01:51.140 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity, the punishment of the 01:51.140 --> 01:54.660 prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him. 01:55.740 --> 02:00.760 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any 02:00.760 --> 02:04.800 more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, 02:05.560 --> 02:08.500 and I may be their God, saith the Lord God. 02:09.480 --> 02:15.120 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, Son of man, when the land sinneth 02:15.120 --> 02:20.180 against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, 02:20.600 --> 02:24.960 and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, 02:25.520 --> 02:27.640 and will cut off man and beast from it. 02:28.220 --> 02:33.280 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver 02:33.280 --> 02:36.820 but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God. 02:37.700 --> 02:43.100 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be 02:43.100 --> 02:47.820 desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts, though these three 02:47.820 --> 02:52.880 men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor 02:52.880 --> 02:57.620 daughters, they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate. 02:58.280 --> 03:03.020 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, 03:03.820 --> 03:08.400 so that I cut off man and beast from it, though these three men were in it, 03:08.440 --> 03:12.820 as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor 03:12.820 --> 03:16.260 daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves. 03:17.220 --> 03:22.440 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, 03:22.760 --> 03:28.120 to cut off from it man and beast, though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, 03:28.160 --> 03:32.640 as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor 03:32.640 --> 03:36.600 daughter, they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. 03:37.440 --> 03:42.420 For thus saith the Lord God, How much more, when I send my four sword judgments 03:42.420 --> 03:47.080 upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, 03:47.420 --> 03:50.000 to cut off from it man and beast? 03:51.440 --> 03:56.260 Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant, that shall be brought forth both 03:56.260 --> 03:57.420 sons and daughters. 03:58.060 --> 04:02.600 Behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their 04:02.600 --> 04:06.380 doings, and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought 04:06.380 --> 04:10.260 upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. 04:11.100 --> 04:16.240 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings, and ye shall 04:16.240 --> 04:21.360 know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
