Contextual Overview

1 Some of the leaders of the Israelites came to consult me about the Lord 's will. 2 Then the Lord spoke to me. 3 "Mortal man," he said, "these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer? 4 "Now speak to them and tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord , am saying to them: Each of you Israelites who have given your heart to idols and let them lead you into sin and who then come to consult a prophet, will get an answer from me—the answer that your many idols deserve! 5 All those idols have turned the Israelites away from me, but by my answer I hope to win back their loyalty. 6 "Now then, tell the Israelites what I, the Sovereign Lord , am saying: Turn back and leave your disgusting idols. 7 "Whenever one of you Israelites or one of you foreigners who live in the Israelite community turn away from me and worship idols, and then go to consult a prophet, I, the Lord , will give you your answer! 8 I will oppose you. I will make an example of you. I will remove you from the community of my people, so that all of you will know that I am the Lord . 9 "If any prophets are deceived into giving a false answer, it is because I, the Lord , have deceived them. I will remove them from the people of Israel. 10 Both prophets and anyone who consults them will get the same punishment.
