Ezekiel 14:10

Idolatrous Elders Condemned

9But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.10They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—11in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”
