7. “Whenever one of the Israelites or one of the foreigners who live in the Israelite community turns away from me and worships idols, and then goes to consult a prophet, I, the Lord, will give him his answer!
8. I will oppose him. I will make an example of him. I will remove him from the community of my people, so that you will know that I am the Lord.
9. “If a prophet is deceived into giving a false answer, it is because I, the Lord, have deceived him. I will remove him from the people of Israel.
10. Both the prophet and the one who consults him will get the same punishment.
11. I will do this to keep the Israelites from deserting me and defiling themselves by their sins. They are to be my people, and I will be their God.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
12. The Lord spoke to me.
