Ezekiel 14 · Grade 4

Idols Taken Into the Heart

Name Date

Read and Think

Some of the elders of Israel came and sat before Ezekiel, as if to seek a word from God. But God saw what was hidden. These men had taken their idols into their heart and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. They wanted God's help while still holding on to idols.

God's answer was a call to repent. Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! Turn away your faces from all your abominations. God's goal was that the house of Israel would no more go astray, but would be his people, and he would be their God.

Then God named three righteous men: Noah, Daniel, and Job. If a land sinned so greatly that judgment came, even these men would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness. No one could ride on another person's faith. Yet God promised that a remnant would come out, and Ezekiel would be comforted to see that God had not acted without cause.

Ezekiel 14 · Grade 5

The Stumbling Block Before Their Face

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel 14 begins with a visit from some of the elders of Israel. Outwardly they came to inquire of the prophet, but God revealed their inner condition: they had taken their idols into their heart and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Their idolatry was no longer only in shrines; it was in their desires. God asked whether he should be inquired of at all by such men.

Instead of answering their question, God answered their heart. Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! Turn away your faces from all your abominations. His purpose was restoration, so that the house of Israel would no more go astray but would be his people, and he would be their God. God's warnings always carried this covenant goal.

God then named Noah, Daniel, and Job, three men famous for righteousness in times of crisis. If a land persisted in sin, even they would deliver only their own souls. Jerusalem could not lean on a few godly people to escape judgment. Yet mercy remained: a remnant would come out, and Ezekiel would understand that God had not done all that he had done without cause. In the New Testament, 1 John 5:21 says: Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Show What You Know

  1. What does it mean that the elders had taken their idols into their heart?

  2. Why did God answer their heart instead of their question?

  3. Why did God mention Noah, Daniel, and Job?

  4. What would comfort Ezekiel about the remnant?
