Though God so threatened the people for their idolatry (Eze 14:5), yet He would rather they should avert the calamity by "repentance."
turn yourselves--CALVIN translates, "turn others" (namely, the stranger proselytes in the land). As ye have been the advisers of others (see Eze 14:7, "the stranger that sojourneth in Israel") to idolatry, so bestow at least as much pains in turning them to the truth; the surest proof of repentance. But the parallelism to Eze 14:3-4 favors English Version. Their sin was twofold: (1) "In their heart" or inner man; (2) "Put before their face," that is, exhibited outwardly. So their repentance is generally expressed by "repent," and is then divided into: (1) "Turn yourselves (inwardly) from your idols"; (2) "Turn away your faces (outwardly) from all your abominations." It is not likely that an exhortation to convert others should come between the two affecting themselves. |
3 Son [01121] of man [0120], these men [0582] have set up [05927] their idols [01544] in their heart [03820], and put [05414] the stumblingblock [04383] of their iniquity [05771] before [05227] their face [06440]: should I be enquired [01875] of at all [01875] by them?
4 Therefore speak [01696] unto them, and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Every man [0376] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] that setteth up [05927] his idols [01544] in his heart [03820], and putteth [07760] the stumblingblock [04383] of his iniquity [05771] before [05227] his face [06440], and cometh [0935] to the prophet [05030]; I the LORD [03068] will answer [06030] him that cometh [0935] according to the multitude [07230] of his idols [01544];
7 For every one [0376] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], or of the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] in Israel [03478], which separateth [05144] himself from me [0310], and setteth up [05927] his idols [01544] in his heart [03820], and putteth [07760] the stumblingblock [04383] of his iniquity [05771] before [05227] his face [06440], and cometh [0935] to a prophet [05030] to enquire [01875] of him concerning me; I the LORD [03068] will answer [06030] him by myself:
5 That I may take [08610] the house [01004] of Israel [03478] in their own heart [03820], because they are all estranged [02114] from me through their idols [01544].
