recapture the hearts

The word of YHWH came to me "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people."

Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me. Then the word of YHWH came to me: "Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all? Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'This is what Sovereign YHWH says: When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face and then goes to a prophet, I YHWH will answer him myself in keeping with his great idolatry. I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.'


Ezekiel 12:1,2, 14:1-5

[Yahweh, let me hear and see your word. Strip idols from my heart. Keep stumbling blocks far from my face. Recapture my heart.]
