Ezekiel 14:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 I will set my face against that man, and I will make him into a sign and a notorious example, and I will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
9 If a prophet acts like a fool[a] and speaks a message, I, the Lord, have made a fool of that prophet.[b] I will stretch out my hand against him, and I will destroy him from among my people Israel. 10 They will bear their guilt. The guilt of the one who seeks guidance will be the same as the guilt of the prophet,
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 14:9 Or is persuaded or lets himself be persuaded
- Ezekiel 14:9 Or have persuaded that prophet. The line is difficult. God is not the source of sin, but God does allow a false prophet to go his own way in order to use him as an instrument of judgment. Examples include the false prophets who led Ahab to his death and the witch of Endor, who drove Saul to his death.
