1. One day, some of Israel's leaders came to me and asked for a message from the Lord.
2. While they were there, the Lord said:
3. Ezekiel, son of man, these men have started worshipping idols, though they know it will cause them to sin even more. So I refuse to give them a message!
4. Tell the people of Israel that if they sin by worshipping idols and then go to a prophet to find out what I say, I will give them the answer their sins deserve.
