Ezekiel 14:7

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by myself:

Cross-reference

Ezekiel 14:3 first states the complaint about heart-idols, which Ezekiel 14:7 then broadens to include any Israelite or foreigner.

Ezekiel 14:4 gives the same judgment against idolaters consulting prophets, while verse 7 adds the foreigner, expanding the scope.

Ezekiel 14:8 immediately gives God's judgment on the inquirer with idols — the direct consequence of the situation in verse 7.

In Ezekiel 20:3, God likewise refuses to be inquired by elders with idols, echoing the same rejection of idolaters seeking Him.

Leviticus 20:2 uses the same phrase 'strangers who sojourn in Israel' for idolatry with Molech—a parallel warning against idolatry.

Jeremiah 44:11 has God setting His face against Judah for idolatry—the same 'set my face' judgment as in Ezekiel 14:8.

Exodus 12:48 allows strangers to join Passover if circumcised—contrasting with the warning here against strangers who embrace idols.

Leviticus 24:22 declares one law for sojourner and native—echoing the equal judgment principle in Ezekiel 14:7 for both groups.

Numbers 15:16 states one law for native and stranger—reinforcing the equal application of judgment in Ezekiel 14:7.

Numbers 15:29 establishes the one-law principle for native and stranger, which Ezekiel 14:7 then applies to idolaters consulting prophets.
