Ezekiel 14:9

Idolatrous Elders Condemned

8I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.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—
