Ezekiel 14:4

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Jehovah will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;" — Ezekiel 14:4 (ASV)

Omit “that cometh.”

According to the multitude of his idols that is, I will give him an answer as delusive as the idols which he serves. Compare Micaiah’s answer to Ahab (1 Kings 22:15).
