Yehezkiel 14:7

Karena setiap orang, baik dari kaum Israel maupun dari orang-orang asing yang tinggal di tengah-tengah Israel, yang menyimpang dari pada-Ku dan menjunjung berhala-berhalanya dalam hatinya dan menempatkan di hadapannya batu sandungan, yang menjatuhkannya ke dalam kesalahan, lalu datang menemui nabi untuk meminta petunjuk dari pada-Ku baginya--Aku, TUHAN sendiri akan menjawab dia.

Karena setiap orang, baik dari kaum Israel maupun dari orang-orang asing yang tinggal di tengah-tengah Israel, yang menyimpang dari pada-Ku dan menjunjung berhala-berhalanya dalam hatinya dan menempatkan di hadapannya batu sandungan, yang menjatuhkannya ke dalam kesalahan, lalu datang menemui nabi untuk meminta petunjuk dari pada-Ku baginya--Aku, TUHAN sendiri akan menjawab dia.
Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
karena barangsiapa dari pada bani Israel atau dari pada orang keluaran yang menumpang di antara orang Israel, jikalau ia undur dari pada-Ku dan mendirikan berhala tahinya di dalam hatinya dan menaruh kesentuhan kejahatannya betul di hadapan mukanya, lalu datang kepada nabi akan bertanyakan Daku olehnya, maka Aku ini, Tuhan sendiri, akan memberi jawab kepadanya kelak.

Contextual Overview

1 There resorted vnto me certayne of the elders of Israel, and sate downe by me. 2 Then came the word of the Lorde vnto me, saying: 3 Thou sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idols in their heartes, and put the stumbling blocke of iniquitie before their face: shoulde I then aunswere them at their request? 4 Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, thus saith the Lorde God: Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, & putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the prophete: vnto that man wyll I the Lord my selfe geue aunswere when he commeth, according to the multitude of his idols. 5 That the house of Israel may be snared in their owne heartes, because they be cleane gone from me all of them thorowe their idols. 6 Wherefore tell the house of Israel, thus saith the Lorde God: Returne and cause to returne from your idols, and turne your faces from all your abhominations. 7 For euery man, whether he be of the house of Israel, or a straunger that soiourneth in Israel, whiche departeth from me, and setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his wickednesse before his face, and commeth to a prophete for to aske counsell at me through hym: vnto that man wyll I the Lorde geue aunswere by mine owne selfe. 8 I wyll set my face against that man, and wyll make hym to be an example for other, yea and a common byworde, and wyll roote hym out of my people, that ye may knowe howe that I am the Lorde. 9 And if that prophete be deceaued when he telleth a thing, then I the Lorde my selfe haue deceaued that prophete, and wyll stretche out my hande vpon him, to destroy him out of my people of Israel: 10 And they shalbe punished for their wickednesse, according to the sinne of hym that asketh, shall the sinne of the prophete be:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For everyone of the house of Israel,.... King and subjects, princes and people, high and low, rich and poor, of every rank, sex, and age:

or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel; the proselytes; whether of righteousness, such as were circumcised, and embraced the Jewish religion; or of the gate, who were only inhabitants with them; one as another were obliged to worship the God of Israel, and abstain from idolatry; there was but one law to the Israelite and to the stranger, respecting this matter:

which separateth himself from me; from the worship of God, and so from communion with him; turns his back on him, and becomes an apostate from him, by joining himself with idols:

and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face; these things are repeated, partly to observe the heinousness of the sin they were guilty of; and partly to show the stupidity of this people, which required things to be said over and over, before they could take them in, and be convinced of their evil:

and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; this explains what such persons would come to a prophet for, Ezekiel 14:4; and exposes their hypocrisy:

I the Lord will answer him by myself; not by the prophet to whom he comes, but by himself: or, "in my word", as the Targum; yet not by words, but by blows; not in mercy, but in wrath; and in such manner, that it shall appear to come from the Lord, and to be according to truth and justice.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The stranger - They who sojourned among Israel, though they were not of Israel, were bound to abstain from idol-worship Leviticus 17:10; Leviticus 20:2.

By myself - Or, as in Ezekiel 14:4, “according to” Myself. He who comes to inquire with a heart full of idolatry shall have his answer,

(1) “according to the multitude of his idols” - in delusion,

(2) “according to the holiness of God” - in punishment.

The inquiry was hypocritical and unreal - but God will answer not by the mouth, but by the hand, not by word but by deed, not by speech but by a scourge.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 14:7. And cometh to a prophet — Generally supposed to mean a false prophet.

I the Lord will answer him by myself — I shall discover to him, by my own true prophet, what shall be the fruit of his ways. So, while their false prophets were assuring them of peace and prosperity, God's prophets were predicting the calamities that afterwards fell upon them. Yet they believed the false prophets in preference to the true. Ahab, about to engage with the Syrians, who had possession of Ramoth-Gilead, asked Micaiah, the prophet of the Lord, concerning the event; who told him he should lose the battle. He then inquired of Zedekiah, a false prophet, who promised him a glorious victory. Ahab believed the latter, marched against the enemy, was routed, and slain in the battle, 1 Kings 22:10, &c.
