 14:3 Sonº of man,º theseº menºº have set upºº their idolsº inº their heart,º and putºº the stumblingblockº of their iniquityº beforeº their face:º should I be enquiredºº of at allºº by them?

 14:4 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;

 14:4 Thereforeº speakºº unto them, and sayºº untoº them, Thusº saithºº the Lordº GOD;º Every manº of the houseºº of Israelº thatº setteth upººº his idolsº inº his heart,º and puttethºº the stumblingblockº of his iniquityº beforeº his face,º and comethºº toº the prophet;º Iº the LORDº will answerºº him that comethºº according to the multitudeº of his idols;º
